[9fans] PDF errors

[Micah Stetson]

Every once in a while, I come across a PDF that I can't
view in Plan 9.  I updated from sources today and gs says
it's Aladdin Ghostscript 7.04.  But it dies when I try
to view any of the PDFs of Holzmann's Beyond Photography
(http://spinroot.com/pico/).  However, Aladdin Ghostscript
6.01 running on NetBSD doesn't have a problem with them.
Does anybody know what's going on? Below is the exact
message I get:

We're currently up to

AFPL Ghostscript 8.00 (2002-11-21)

That seems to work.  I'll make sure it
finds its way to sources, though it make
take a while, I'm on a very flakey ppp link
this week.

I'm using 7.04 without any problem, I forgot what I did on the sources
of ghostscript though.   I think some problems were there in fake-make
process in mkfile...   Probably some obj/foo.c or obj/foo.h files are not
copied to src directory.

I hope it may give you a hint. (damn, my corrupted brain!)

Well, rsc says that version has problems also.  I'll leave it
be till russ gets back from his summer hiatus.  He wants to
restructure the distribution and that will be part of it.
