Hi all,
I just installed mpl on ubuntu gutsy, and got errors after setting
text.usetex : True and ps.usedistiller : ghostscript. The problem seems
to be in checkdep_ghostscript() in __init__.py, specifically the command 'gs
-v' (should be replaced by 'gs --version').
For my system I get:
$ gs -v
GPL Ghostscript SVN PRE-RELEASE 8.61 (2007年08月02日)
Copyright (C) 2007 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved.
and:
$ gs --version
8.61
Below I give a modified version of checkdep_ghostscript() that should work
for all version of ghostscript.
Cheers,
Ralf
def checkdep_ghostscript():
try:
if sys.platform == 'win32':
command = 'gswin32c -v'
else:
command = 'gs --version'
stdin, stdout = os.popen4(command)
line = stdout.readlines()[0]
vtest = '.'.join(line.split('.')[:2]) # deal with version numbers like '
7.07.1'
float(vtest)
return vtest
except (IndexError, ValueError):
return None

Thanks for the report. This was already fixed in svn, but not using --version,
which looks like a better solution. Could someone using AFPL ghostscript let
us know what is the output of gs --version?

gs --version works with AFPL. Could someone please check that this works on
windows: gswin32c --version
Yep. Works. C:\WINDOWS>gswin32c --version 8.51 Darren Dale wrote: > gs --version works with AFPL.

Thanks. I updated the gs version checker in svn. On Thursday 01 November 2007 05:29:03 pm Gary Ruben wrote: > Yep.
