GekkoGeck0 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I've been having errors with KGhostView. It was telling me that it couldn't open PDF files. It was working not that long ago, but maybe about a week ago, it just started telling me it couldn't open anything. I narrowed the problem down to Ghostscript itself. GS version: ESP Ghostscript 815.01 (2005-09-22) Here's the error: Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in get Operand stack: Actionsh.pfb 0 I really prefer to use KGhostView to read my PDF files. XPDF has given me nothing but problems and PDFs aren't readable in it for some reason that I don't care to fix because I never liked the program in the first place. Anyone know what's causing this error and how I should go about correcting this so I can read my PDFs again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I would suggest removing and reinstalling again to see if that solves the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GekkoGeck0 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 If I make an attempt at removing GhostScript, this is what I get: Because of their dependencies, the following package(s) also need to be removed: a2ps-4.13b-8mdk, cups-drivers-2006-7.1.20060mdk, foomatic-db-3.0.2-1.20050825.2mdk, ghostscript-module-X-8.15-24.3.20060mdk, gutenprint-foomatic-5.0.0-0.9mdk, gutenprint-ijs-5.0.0-0.9mdk, ImageMagick-6.2.4.3-1.1.20060mdk, kdeaddons-3.5.1-1.1.20060.SoS, kdegraphics-3.5.1-0.1.20060.SoS, kdegraphics-kdvi-3.5.1-0.1.20060.SoS, kdegraphics-kghostview-3.5.1-0.1.20060.SoS, kipi-plugins-0.1.0-0.rc1.2.1.20060mdk, OpenOffice.org-1.1.5-2.2.20060mdk, OpenOffice.org-help-en-1.1.5-2mdk, OpenOffice.org-l10n-en-1.1.5-2.2.20060mdk, postscript-ppds-2006-1mdk, printer-filters-2006-7.1.20060mdk, sam2p-0.44-1mdk, tetex-3.0-12.1.20060mdk I'm not removing all that to get rid of GhostScript... Is there another way of going about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I agree that you should not remove all of those packages just to remove ghostscript. Sigh...dependency hell. I use the Adobe Reader 7 to read pdf's. It works fine: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I guess you could try forcing it to reinstall over the top even though it's already installed. I think a --force might do it, so for example: urpmi ghostscript --force although I'm not sure on the parameter, so try "man urpmi" to find out additional parameters to override and force the install.

coverup Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 rpm or its KDE frontend kpackage should allow you to deal with dependencies: rpm -e --nodeps PACKAGENAME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
