Description Oliver Putz 2007-12-11 17:02:03 UTC 
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:

Comment 1 Pino Toscano 2007-12-11 17:11:04 UTC 
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,

It seems that the ghostscript installation is broken; Albert?
Comment 2 Albert Astals Cid 2007-12-11 21:46:39 UTC 
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.
