Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux I tried to read http://www.mpi-sb.mpg.de/~mehlhorn/ftp/DirCycleBasis.ps in okular with kde4daily. As there apparently is no *.ps backend in the okular version shipped in kde4daily right now, none of the pages of the document could be displayed. When I tried to print the document to a file, okular crashed. I use kde4daily ver 747104 with VirtualBox on a Gentoo machine The console output of okular during this incident was: [~]>okular oliver/papers/DirCycleBasis.ps okular(4522)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton)

First, changing the improper summary, as okular would not even offered you the option to open the .ps if you would had no "ps backend". Then, > ESP Ghostscript 815.04: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps. It seems that the ghostscript installation is broken; Albert?
well, basically 8.15 is too old, we have added a cmake time check asking at least for 8.56 but 8.61 is heavily recommended.
