Greetings,
I am having some trouble with groffer that I haven't been able to figure our
too easily. If I do:
groffer --ps --ps-viewer gv groff
everything works fine. But if I do:
groffer --ps --ps-viewer evince groff
It doesn't display the pages (although "evince file.ps" works fine).
Digging in a little it seems that evince is passed a postscript file made in
a temporary directory created in /tmp. The problem is that that directory
seems to have been removed, thus evince couldn't display anything.
Interestingly, if I do:
groffer --ps --ps-viewer evince --debug groff
it does work! The --debug switch causes groffer not to delete the temporary
directory.
It seems groffer process everything into a resultant file placed in a
temporary directory under /tmp. Groffer then deletes it, I suppose thinking
evince is done with it. I checked and it doesn't delete the file when I use
gv instead. I don't understand.
Thanks.
Blake McBride
