compatibility with ghostscript 9.21 #13

Closed JaegerP closed 7 years ago

JaegerP commented 7 years ago

Hi there, I have problems running MaTeX against ghostscript release 9.21 on Arch linux. It seems MaTeX does not recognize the binary as a valid ghostscript:

/usr/bin/gs is either not working or is not Ghostscript. Please configure Ghostscript using ConfigureMaTeX["Ghostscript" -> "path to gs executable..."]

Quick fix: Build ghostscript-9.20 from source and run ConfigureMaTeX["Ghostscript" -> "/path/to/gs-9.20/bin/gs"]

If you need any more information, please let me know.

Please restore the 9.21 that didn't work, evaluate the troubleshooting notebook, and email it to me. There is nothing special about 9.21 that should prevent it from working. The results from that notebook will help me track down and fix the problem.

Also, make sure you are using the latest version. There was a fix for a similar problem in 1.7.0.

JaegerP commented 7 years ago

I found that my system libz is version 1.2.11, instead of 1.2.9 which MaTeX tries to load. The libpng in the Mathematica folder is a v1.12, but gs-9.21 recommends using v1.16. Maybe that's the problem here.

Hi there,

I have the same configuration, and so the same issue... Is there a way to install the latest (unstable) version of MaTeX that includes the last commits (including the fix 3062104) from sources, or do I have to wait for the next official paclet file to download ? Thanks for this great, helpful, job !

szhorvat commented 7 years ago

@Dmarc I'm going to try to release it next week (if I can get around to completing a new tutorial in the documentation). If you need it earlier, feel free to send me an email, and I'll send you a paclet that has the fix (sans the documentation changes I'm working on).

@Dmarc The new release is out now.

It's working like a charm ! Thanks a lot.
