It compiles fine, but when I run it I get the following pair of messages: gs: Malformed ghostview color property. Error: PostScript interpreter failed in main window. Running it in the debugger (gdb) it seems as if there is a broken pipe when ghostview forks and executes ghostscript, but I am not really sure what is happening there. (Can one debug a child after a fork?) Any suggestions on how to fix this problem are welcome. Thanks. -- Brook Milligan bmilliga@nmsu.edu Department of Biology 505-646-7980 New Mexico State University 505-646-5665 FAX Las Cruces, New Mexico 88003
