From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: When using gv to view PS or PDF files, I get the following error: gs: error while loading shared libraries: libgs.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: PostScript interpreter failed in main window. I tried this with two files, one PostScript and one PDF. "locate 'libgs*'" didn't return any hits. All of the GhostScript packages (ghostscript, ghostscript-devel, ghostscript-fonts) are installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gv-3.5.8-22 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type 'gv poster.ps' 2. See gv failure message. Expected Results: I should be able to view the file. Additional info:
More info. I checked a RH8.0 box I have: $ rpm -q ghostscript ghostscript-7.05-20 $ rpm -ql ghostscript | grep libgs /usr/lib/libgs.so /usr/lib/libgs.so.7 /usr/lib/libgs.so.7.05 But on two different RH9 boxes (recent installs, all errata applied): $ rpm -q ghostscript ghostscript-7.05-32 $ rpm -ql ghostscript | grep libgs $
Works fine for me. What does 'rpm -V gv' say?
Nothing... # rpm -V gv # Could you do a 'rpm -qf /usr/lib/libgs.so.7' and tell me what it should say? Under RH8 it was part of ghostscript-7.05-20... maybe it moved, maybe by ghostscript package was bogus.
Nothing provides it... that's why I'm wondering if there's something odd with your gv or gs binary. 'rpm -V ghostscript' also produces no output?
Gaah. I have a /usr/local/bin/gs in my path from a shared /usr/local which precedes /usr/bin in my path. Sorry. Thanks for your help.
