Hi again
regarding my last post, I still have pb generating simple eps files.
Now I turned on "usetex" to True and I get the message given below. If
anyone can help me with this, it would be great since I am now stuck
with this.
Reminder: the pb occurs when I save a figure (savefig) in postscript
format (.eps), after plotting a number of small thumbnail images (using
pcolormesh and contour).
cheers
Eric

This is a kind of bug that is quite hard to trace unless we can reproduce the error. As far as I know, there has been a report that matplotlib does not work well with GPL Ghostscript 8.63. And I'm not sure if it is related. http://old.nabble.com/Segmentation-fault-with-EPS-output-on-matplotlib->%3D0.98.5.2-to25257581.html#a25334270 So, see if using "xpdf" as a distiller works.

Hi thanks a lot for the quick tip. But no xpdf does not do it (I had tried it). Just to be consistent below is an account of my config (may not help much).

Certainly the error message must have changed between runs, since your first post showed a Ghostscript-specific message. -- Jouni K. Seppänen http://www.iki.fi/jks
