Hello everybody!

This may be off-topic, but maybe not. I didn't do anything to my system except for installing inkscape-20040610 yesterday.

I have been using my system (Mandrake Linux 10.0) for three months: viewing PS/PDF files, creating PS/PDF files - all with ESP Ghostcript 7.07 (that one with CUPS). But yesterday, suddenly, GS became broken.

So, everytime I try to view a PS or PDF file with KGhostView, Ghostview or any other viewer, and everytime I try to print to PS or PDF, I get an error message box from these applications, they show a gs command line and an error message: "Unrecoverable error: syntaxerror in token Operand stack: --nostringval-- --nostringval-- Zmachine sRB --nostringval--"

I don't have any GS_* variables defined except fot GS_LIB=/home/artemio.fonts

The weird thing is that when I say "gs" in the command line, I instantly get this:

ESP Ghostscript 7.07 (2003-11-19) Copyright 2003 artofcode LLC and Easy Software Products, all rights reserved. This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details. Unrecoverable error: syntaxerror in token Operand stack: --nostringval-- --nostringval-- Zmachine sRB --nostringval--

On my system, /usr/bin/gs is symlinked to /usr/bin/gs-common, and gs-common is an ELF executable, not a shell wrapper that adds some extra options.

Please excuse me if this is off-topic here, but I just don't know what to do...

Artemio.
