I downloaded ghostscript 8.63 but the pdf2ps error persists. but the
error goes away if I uses an earlier version of context, namely:
TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
(tetex distribution.)
Therefore the problem lies in the recent Context I have been using,
and not in ghostscript nor in my code.
My curremt version of Context is:
ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKII fmt: 2008.9.25 int:
english/english
The next previous version of Context I have also fails this test:
ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.12 15:56 MKII fmt: 2007.9.26 int:
english/english
My test file at the moment is:
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
foo
\stoptext
I am testing on LInux Slackware 12.
Perhaps Hans or Thanh would care to comment.
