Package: inkscape Version: 0.45.1-1 Severity: normal Hi,
Frankly speaking, this is a bug of pstoedit and gs-gpl. But I'd like to report it here since it happens first when I use inkscape :-) Because CUPS depends on gs-esp, gs-gpl may not be installed on default. With gs-esp, inkscape can smoothly `insert' LaTeX formula with the aid of pstoedit, though a noticable delay exits. If gs-gpl is installed too and provides `gs' (not the default choice of course), inkscape will fail to render LaTeX formula. That is, the `gs' invoked by pstoedit will exhaust almost all CPU time and still cannot get result. To re-produce this bug is very straightfoward. Open a new svg document, and insert LaTeX formula through menu `Effects -> Render -> LaTeX formula'. Then the whole program appears hanged. Alternatively, open a console, and type a LaTeX document manually. Then latex it to produce dvi file. Next, generate ps file according to the instructions in eqtexsvg.py. Then, when invoking pstoedit: pstoedit -f plot-svg -dt -ssp ps_file svg_file > out_file the problem arises. The output when pstoedit is forcely stopped: pstoedit: version 3.44 / DLL interface 108 (build Mar 11 2007 - release build - g++ 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) : Copyright (C) 1993 - 2006 Wolfgang Glunz PostScript/PDF Interpreter finished.
