I have run across some problems displaying .ps maps that contain raster images in evince. Evince will just hang at the loading stage, but will not ever actually load or display the .ps file that contains the raster image. The .ps maps were created using Grass 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4 on both Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit and Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit machines.
The output .ps file that contains a raster layer will display properly using Evince document viewer on Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit and 64 bit machines as well as on Ubuntu 9.04 32 bit machines (I have not tested it on an 8.10 32 bit machine), but it will not will not display properly using Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit or 9.04 64 bit builds.
The same .ps file that contains one raster image will load properly in GhostView. However, if I create a .ps file that contains two or more embedded .eps layers (each with a raster image), Ghostview will crash as well (something like what is displayed below).
If I import the .ps file into Gimp, and then save it as a new .ps file using Gimp, it will load in Evince.
Has anyone else encountered anything like this before? Is it a known issue or bug?
Thanks,
Casey
