"/usr/bin/gs is either not working or is not a command line version of Ghostscript." #35

Closed mauricioquintela closed 4 years ago

mauricioquintela commented 4 years ago

The only version of Ghstscript installed in my system (Linux) is 9.53.1, running Mathematica 12.1.

When configuring MaTeX, the error "/usr/bin/gs is either not working or is not a command line version of Ghostscript." is presented, making MaTeX unable to be used.

Both 

RunProcess[{"/usr/bin/gs", "--version"}]

MaTeX`Private`runProcess[{"/usr/bin/gs", "--version"}]

return 

<|"ExitCode" -> 0, "StandardOutput" -> "9.53.1
  ", "StandardError" -> ""|>

Furthermore, Ghostscript works in terminal and ~ > which gs returns /usr/bin/gs, as expected.

This is likely because of the unusual version number. In the past, Ghostscript was always x.y, but this is an x.y.z pattern version. I'll look into it.

Thanks for the report! Version 1.7.7 fixes this problem.
