[Matplotlib-users] XPDF works but Ghostscript Doesn't for .eps

[Samuel M. S. <sm...@sa...>]

I can only generate .eps files that will successfully distill  
into .pdf files when I use

ps.usedistiller   : xpdf
not
ps.usedistiller   : ghostscript
nor
  ps.usedistiller   : None

Is this  a known problem?
ghostscript does work fine for .ps files just not .eps

In addition when ever I save a .eps file I get the following error  
even though it creates the file ok

: Error: No paper information available - using defaults
%%BoundingBox: 78 220 543 561
%%HiResBoundingBox: 78.281998 220.589993 542.375983 560.357983

Is there  a way to fix this?
I have
ps.papersize      : letter



my configuration
Mac OS X 10.4.10 PPC
python 2.5.1
Matplotlib 0.90.1
ipython 0.8.1
wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-2.8.3.0-universal10.4-py2.5
ghostscript 8.54
xpdf 3.02
