Re: gksm2ps problem

[Arne Biastoch <abiastoch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

on my Dec Alpha (Tru64 UNIX v5.1 Rev. 732) I get the same error. Fprint 
crashes with a core dump and the resulting file is readable with 
ghostview but not printable because (compared to a FERRET 5.4 test) the 
last 2 lines ("stroke" and "showpage" are missing).

However, converting metafiles with the gksm2ps from FERRET 5.4 works 
fine. Any idea how to get the new gksm2ps (and therefore the CYMK 
output) running?
