Hi Everyone,

I have an older version of ggv on RHEL for viewing PostScript (.ps) files, but the binary I have refuses to open files from AFS. ggv-2.12.0 is able to open these files from AFS just fine on my Mac. I was not able to find packaged binaries for RHEL 5 or 6 for ggv-2.12.0, so I downloaded the source and compiled it. Unfortunately, it fails to start, printing these error messages:

(ggv:17522): GGV-WARNING **: Could not get GGV control: 'Failed to activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_GGV_Control''
(ggv:17522): GGV-WARNING **: Failed to create a new window.
(ggv:17522): GGV-WARNING **: No windows could be opened. Exiting...

Does anyone know the fix? Or alternatively, is there another good and well-maintained PostScript viewer for Linux?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Regards,
Michael L.

I would install the evince package
and evince-nautilus too

then run evince xxxxx.ps
or just use the desktop and double click

Thanks, 16pide. The evince program seems to do the job just fine.

There is also okular, on the kde side. Its older incarnation, for .ps files, is kghostview.
