EPS conversion aborted

[kriks]

Yes there was only one ghostscript version (9.15) installed on this server.

Code: Select all

# find / -name gs
/usr/bin/gs

[dlemstra]

Maybe there are more versions of libgs.so on your machine? This library will be probably be in another package.

I'm afraid there is only one libgs.so:

Code: Select all

# find / -name libgs.so
/usr/lib64/libgs.so

[dlemstra]

Are there symlinks that have the version number? I have this on my Ubuntu machine:

Code: Select all

dirk@singlemalt:~$ locate libgs.so
/usr/lib/libgs.so
/usr/lib/libgs.so.9
/usr/lib/libgs.so.9.10

[kriks]

We may have something here:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# gs -v
GPL Ghostscript 9.15 (2014-09-22)

ghostscript-8.70-19.el6.x86_64

ghostscript claims to be 9.15, but it seems that the installed version is 8.70...

[kriks]

This was a step in the right direction, thank you!
There seems to be a problem in the ghostscript package in centos 6.6

After recompiling and installing ghostscript 9.15, and then recompiling the src.rpm for IM-6.9.0-3, the aborted process does not show up any more
(I had to recompile, as the provided RPMs don't install on centos : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=26839 )

The only thing that bothers me is that error during the configuration of IM :

Code: Select all

checking for Ghostscript... 
checking for Ghostscript version... 9.15
checking for gs alpha device... pngalpha
checking for gs color device... pnmraw
checking for gs CMYK device... pam

Unrecoverable error: syntaxerror in --nostringval--
Operand stack:
    defaultdevice
Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice
Operand stack:

nodevice

Do you know what that means ?

[magick]

The configure script queries Ghostscript is see if the epswrite device is supported. If its not found, it alerts you but its an optional device so it nots a problem.

[kriks]

Thanks magick for the information.

But I spoke too fast, after compiling GS (9.15) and IM (6.9.0-3) from source on a clean centos 6.6, the "aborted" GS comes again.
I'll have to double check this later again.

[dlemstra]

You should check with ldd if you are linking with the correct version of Ghostscript.

[kriks]

I thought that IM would invoke GS by a command-line in a sub-process, and not as a library, am I wrong ?

here are the 2 ldd:

[dlemstra]

Your first log has the following text '[ghostscript library]'. This means that it will use the library instead of the command-line. Do you see the following in your config.log?

Code: Select all

Ghostscript lib   --with-gslib=yes      yes

If you don't see that line you can call configure like this:

Code: Select all

./configure --with-gslib

[pipitas]

Code: Select all

checking for Ghostscript... 
[....]
checking for gs PS writing device... ps2write
checking for gs EPS writing device... Unknown device: epswrite
[....]

Do you know what that means ?

While my earlier post

• viewtopic.php?f=3&t=26728#p118567

in the current thread was out of context -- for this question (compiling current GS sources) it may be relevant...

Please check one more time.

[fmw42]

You might check your delegates.xml file to see what sDEVICE is being used for EPS. Mine says


<delegate decode="eps" encode="pdf" mode="bi" command=""gs" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 "-sDEVICE=pdfwrite" "-sOutputFile=%o" "-f%i""/>

<delegate decode="eps" encode="ps" mode="bi" command=""gs" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 "-sDEVICE=ps2write" "-sOutputFile=%o" "-f%i""/>

Edit as needed.

[kriks]

You might check your delegates.xml file to see what sDEVICE is being used for EPS.

In this case, it seems that it's the ps:cmyk delegates that is used :

Code: Select all

<delegate decode="ps:cmyk" stealth="True" command=""gs" -q -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 "-sDEVICE=pam" -dTextAlphaBits=%u -dGraphicsAlphaBits=%u "-r%s" %s "-sOutputFile=%s" "-f%s" "-f%s""/>

Your first log has the following text '[ghostscript library]'. This means that it will use the library instead of the command-line. Do you see the following in your config.log?

Yes, I saw it, and when I use it, the convert fails. (Aborted)

I made another try without gslib, so that gs is used as a command, and in this case it works!

Could there be a bug when using gslib?
