Bug 7245

Hi, I can reproduce the problem with displaying pictures. I will investigate.

For pdf, using file>export>pdf, I have no problem. Maybe texmacs is missing a requires for ghostscript, as you are suggesting. I will investigate as well.

Thanks for the report.

Can you check that installing ghostscript-module-X fixes the picture problem?

For the pdf problem, I can't reproduce, but it looks like a missing dependency as well. Can you tell me more about your install? For example, does the pdf export of libreoffice work?

Yes, libreoffice pdf export is working.

I made a rpm package of texmacs (TeXmacs-1.0.7.14-69.1.mga1.x86_64.rpm) for mageia 1 last year.
I tried it when i saw texmacs for mageia 2 failled. It works.

I tried rpm package for Cauldron (mageia 3). Same problem, fake pdf export, but real ps file.

Now I'm using my home brew rpm , made with the rpm source package of Cauldron (mageia 3).
It's work.
And it works without that ghostscript-module-X package I didn't install.

About this bug, I saw this here(https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30120) :
"It turns out this happens when TeXmacs is configured without access to ghostscript. The work around is to rebuild TeXmacs with a ghostscript dependency. "

I built my rpm packages with ghostscript installed. Is this the reason that they worked ?
(Sorry for my english)

Your English is ok. 
Thanks for your input. I actually could reproduce the pdf bug. For the image problem, I am sure this is due to the missing ghostscript-module-X package.

I pushed an update candidate to updates_testing. Please check that it works for you.

I have uploaded a new texmacs package for Mageia 2.

Test procedure: 
- with the current Mageia 2 version:
  * remove ghostscript-module-X and install texmacs and look at the welcome page (Help>Welcome), the images of the page are replaced by ugly rectangles.
  * From that welcome screen, do File>Export>PDF, and save it somewhere. Now, if you look at the pdf file produced (in a console: file thefileIjustproduced.pdf), you can observe that it is actually a Postscript file, which is quite wrong.
- with the updating version:
  * installing texmacs, pulls ghostscript-module-X, so images should be displayed correctly.
  * the exportation to pdf format actually produces a pdf output:
$ file thefileIjustproduced.pdf


Suggested advisory:
========================

Updated texmacs package fix two bugs (Bug 7245):

- missing requires causes image display problem
- pdf export produces postscript files
