Description of problem: Hi! Two problems with texmacs (texmacs-1.0.7.11-2.mga2.x86_64.rpm) on mageia2 64 bits. (GNU TeXmacs is a free wysiwyw editing platformwith special features for scientists.) First texmacs doesn't display pictures (jpg, png,eps). I see something like a "printscreen" where my pictures should be, the size of my pictures. Texmacs doesn't also export to PDF files. The PDF files it makes are in fact ps files. Three : texmacs-1.0.7.11 is old . I try texmacs-1.0.7.16-1.mga3.x86_64.rpm for Cauldron. No bug with pictures. But it can't make right PDF files. This bug is known : https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30120 I made a texmacs rpm with texmacs-1.0.7.16-1.mga3.src.rpm. I'd to add a few thing in the spec file (files forgotten), but now it works. Because I compiled it with ghostscript on my computer ? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): texmacs-1.0.7.11-2.mga2.x86_64.rpm texmacs-1.0.7.16-1.mga3.x86_64.rpm How reproducible: try put a picture in the document. Try to export to PDF.

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 ======================== Updated packages in core/updates_testing: ======================== texmacs-1.0.7.11-2.1.mga2.{i586,x86_64}.rpm Source RPM: texmacs-1.0.7.11-2.1.mga2.src.rpm
