[makempy/pstoedit/Ghostscript hang]
That is, it seems as if pstoedit calls Ghostscript and that hangs. I've updated to v8.56, recently, and didn't observe any problems with pstoedit and MetaPost with older versions of Ghostscript (in other applications). What version of Ghostscript are you running?
also ghostscript 8.56
Could someone with an older version of Ghostscript please check if pstoedit/Ghostscript hang with the attached example? That would make it easier for me deciding where to send the bug report to.
It does not hang, but does not work either: makempy outline MakeMPY 1.1 - MetaFun / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004 processing file : outline.mpo tex format : plain requested texts : 1 generating : pdf file generating : metapost file pstoedit: version 3.42 / DLL interface 108 (build Jul 2 2006 - release build) : Copyright (C) 1993 - 2005 Wolfgang Glunz ESP Ghostscript 815.03: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 PostScript/PDF Interpreter finished.
