strace output of ggv during run-time
Does not happen with all PDFs, but with most I have tried, notably RHL 9 manuals. Hi. I have downgraded ggv to the previous release that was shipped with Red Hat Linux 8.0, and the problem went away. - Regards - Paolo Prandini Any update on this issue? The ggv author wants to remove pdf support from ggv altogether. He feels that pdf's are better served by a dedicated pdf renderer, rather than by using ghostscript. |
