8.71.0: gs_lev2.ps tries to run non-existent gs_devpxl.ps
hello, Apologies if I am missing some blatant point. Just installed 8.71.0 and stumbled on what looks like a regression. Upon: ps2pdf foo.ps I get: Can't find (or open) initialization file (gs_devpxl.ps) While reading gs_lev2.ps: Error: /undefined in .uninstallpagedevice Operand stack: (gs_lev2.ps) (gs_devpxl.ps) (gs_devpxl.ps) Execution stack: %interp_exit --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- %array_continue --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:770/1123(G)-- --dict:63/200(L)-- --dict:770/1123(G)-- --dict:140/251(G)-- Last OS error: 2 It turns out that gs_lev2.ps is actually trying to run gs_devpxl.ps, which is not there, hence the error. According to Details8.htm: 2008-08-11T14:16:18.397362Z Ken Sharp Move the interpretation of PostScript (and PDF) color spaces from PostScript into C. DETAILS: This has required a large number of changes, there are a few new .c or .h files, a number of PostScript files have been removed, and a few others simplified. A few documentation '.htm' files have also been modified to reflect these changes. [src/int.mak src/zpcolor.c src/zicc.c Resource/Init/gs_devn.ps src/zcssepr.c Resource/Init/gs_cspace.ps src/zcie.c src/zicc.h src/zcie.h src/zcspixel.c Resource/Init/gs_lev2.ps Resource/Init/gs_ciecs3.ps Resource/Init/gs_sepr.ps src/zcolor.c src/ifunc.h src/zfunc4.c src/zcsdevn.c src/zcolor.h Resource/Init/gs_patrn.ps src/zfsample.c doc/Develop.htm src/zfunc.c Resource/Init/gs_ll3.ps src/zcsindex.c doc/Psfiles.htm Resource/Init/gs_icc.ps Resource/Init/gs_devpxl.ps src/gscolor2.h Resource/Init/gs_init.ps Resource/Init/gs_devcs.ps Resource/Init/gs_indxd.ps Resource/Init/gs_ciecs2.ps] So, as I understand it, it is right that gs_devpxl.ps is not there, but it is wrong that gs_lev2.ps tries to run it. There are no calls to gs_devpxl.ps in 8.64.0 (the version I used before upgrading) Looking into gs_lev2.ps, I find other "wrong" (see above) calls: % Add the level 2 color spaces % DevicePixel is actually a LanguageLevel 3 feature; it is here for % historical reasons. %% Replace 1 (gs_devpxl.ps) (gs_devpxl.ps) runlibfile %% Replace 1 (gs_ciecs2.ps) (gs_ciecs2.ps) runlibfile %% Replace 1 (gs_indxd.ps) (gs_indxd.ps) runlibfile %% Replace 1 (gs_sepr.ps) (gs_sepr.ps) runlibfile %% Replace 1 (gs_patrn.ps) (gs_patrn.ps) runlibfile I hope to have been of some use Thanks a lot for maintaining such a precious and useful piece of code! ciao gabriele -- Gabriele Balducci - Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche - Via L.

Can you try to remove the "lib/gs_lev2.ps" from your installation, the good file is in "Resource/init/gs_lev2.ps" I investigate to remove completely obsoletes files from the main tree and publish a 8.71.1 version as soon as possible. Thanks to report the problem !
