Small patch that fixes the viewing problem
A patch was committed to ghostscript trunk to solve this problem and it does. However, the above patch still works and may protect from future ghostscript changes to the buffer value. Ghostscript people are recommending to keep the "-_" replacement because they say it is more efficient piping and may prevent future problems. Fixed in Ghostscript as stated above. |
Version: 0.20 (kde 3.5.8) (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Fedora RPMs Compiler: gcc-4.2.1 OS: Linux Certain files fail to open with kghostview when using ghostscript-8.61. The problem seems to be related to a change in piping for gs-8.61. See, http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689577 I shall attach a file that has this problem with kghostview. I am not really an expert in this but the attached patch seems to be a remedy. I have not tested printing from kghostview. If the feed to ghostscript contains - it needs to be replaced by -_. Thanks
