  • [gentoo-user] psnup vs. dvips

    From karl@aspodata.se@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 30 21:50:02 2021
    A latex related question.

    Is there any change to dvips to make the output file incompatible
    with psutils ?

    ///

    When I removed texlive 2017 in favour of gentoo texlive
    psnup stopped producing files compatible with gv.
    I get error messages like:

    ===========
    Error: /undefinedGPL Ghostscript 9.53.3: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

    Operand stack:

    Current allocation mode is local
    Last OS error: No such file or directory
    ===========

    I can work around the problem by using ps2ps after the dvips step.
