- Well, I have problems with ghostscript. I have the font files
- in usr:lib/ghostscript/fonts, and the binaries in usr:bin.
- When I CD to the examples directory and say
- GS -sDEVICE=epson chess.ps
- it starts, thinks for a while, says >>showpage, hit ....
- and gives me nothing. If I try to specify an output file,
- I get a rangeerror in get and it dies on me. I have tried the
- other examples and the other drivers with no success.
-
- Stack = 500000
- Machine = A2000 / A2630 + 4 megs ++ Supra 2 megs ++ WB2.1 ++ various
- commodities running in the system.
-
- Any thoughts, comments, etc. ????
-
- Thanks.
