#92 Can't find usr/bin/pstopdf

[David Strang]

EasyABC works now with 1.4.0 but app still can't find usr/bin/pstopdf despite installing ghostscript package from your installer package and also tried from uoregon koch installer.
There is no file on my computer with pstopdf in the name so can't track it manually from ABC settings.

I can work around it but would be nice to export directly to pdf.
Thanks

hi
with version 1.4.0.0, if you have installed ghostscript, you can you gs directly
In Settings > ABC Settings, in the File settings you can delete the reference to pstopdf
it will be replaced by a pointer to gs if you have already installed ghostscript
otherwise you´ll have to browse to where ghostscrpit was installed

[David Strang]

Thanks

In ABC Settings deleting pstopdf defaults to /Applications/EasyABC.app/Contents/Helpers/gs (default)

The app can’t find it either. There is no ‘gs’ inside /Applications/EasyABC.app/Contents/Helpers

It might means that it is not found.
As you mentionned you've installed ghostscript I'm assuming you could put:
/usr/local/bin/gs

This should work. At least it is installed by the ghostscript pkg.

[David Strang]

Worked!

Thanks for all your troubleshooting and for the app!
