Attempting to display an EPS graphics gives :
execvp of "/home/moz/src/lyx/lyx-devel/lib/scripts/convertDefault.sh
/home/moz/src/lyx/lyx-devel/lib/scripts/convertDefault.sh
eps:/home/moz/anime.eps
xpm:/tmp/lyx_tmpdir22350FQjUjw/anime22350q1o79w.xpm" failed: Permission

a) I have /bin/bash installed (this is a BUG in itself)
b) I can write to that tmpdir
c) I have convert installed
ideas ? What happened to using ghostscript (just not done yet ?)
thanks
john
