A possible solution is to build Ghostscript with the new liblcms2. At least for me it does not crash any more on your EPS files. But as this is a major change and the upstream developers of Ghostscript think that there are still bugs, and this case of Apple-generated EPS files is the only know cause of Ghostscript to segfault, I cannot put this change into Oneiric. But I make it available for you and everyone who actually suffers this problem. It is on my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~till-kamppeter/+archive/ppa Please follow the instructions under "Adding this PPA to your system". After that update your system, for example via sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade After more testing (by me, by you, and by the development of Ubuntu 12.04) I will check whether we can upload this package as SRU (Stable Release Update) for Oneiric. Especially it needs to be tested whether the switchover from liblcms1 to liblcms2 does not introduce any regressions. ** Also affects: ghostscript (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: High Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: lcms (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: Medium Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: ghostscript (Ubuntu P-series) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: lcms (Ubuntu P-series) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: lcms (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: lcms (Ubuntu P-series) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: ghostscript (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix ** Changed in: ghostscript (Ubuntu P-series) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: lcms (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Invalid => Won't Fix ** Changed in: lcms (Ubuntu P-series) Status: Invalid => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787067 Title: Apple-generated EPS figures in LaTeX-generated PS file cause Ghostscript to segfault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gs-gpl/+bug/787067/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
