Hello,

I guess this error is due to some strange definition of macros on your
system. The relevant lines are the following (correct me if I'm wrong):

    fprintf(stderr, "GS [%ld] error %d E:%d %d S:%d %d\n", long(pid),
            *status, WIFEXITED(*status), WEXITSTATUS(*status),
            WIFSIGNALED(*status), WTERMSIG(*status));

The first possible fix is to just comment out these lines, since they
are just an error message. I'd like however to find a better fix...

Could you run the file through the preprocessor and tell me what the
relevant lines look like? Something like

* run 
  g++ -E -I. -I. -I../images -I/usr/X11R6/include figinset.C >figinset.cpp

* search in figinset.cpp the lines corresponding to the lines above.

Hope this helps.

JMarc
