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

Code: Select all

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

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

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

We may have something here:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# gs -v
GPL Ghostscript 9.15 (2014-09-22)
Copyright (C) 2014 Artifex Software, Inc.  All rights reserved.

[root@localhost ~]# locate libgs.so
/usr/lib64/libgs.so
/usr/lib64/libgs.so.8 
/usr/lib64/libgs.so.8.70

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep ghost

ghostscript-devel-8.70-19.el6.x86_64
ghostscript-8.70-19.el6.x86_64
ghostscript claims to be 9.15, but it seems that the installed version is 8.70...

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

Do you know what that means ?

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.

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.

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

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:

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

Do you know what that means ?
While my earlier post in the current thread was out of context -- for this question (compiling current GS sources) it may be relevant...

Please check one more time.

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.

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""/>

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?
