Thanks, Thomas On 10/02/2025 9:00 pm, tkl wrote: Thank you for investigating further. The gs file contains the one line "gswinc", not "gswin64c"? Does Windows expand "gswinc" to find the correct executable? That I do not know. In the gs file you mentioned, try to put |gswinc "$@"| . $* expands to all arguments, but splits at each whitespace. The latter form preserves whitespace, if there are, in arguments. have just tried gswin64c $@ Does not make any difference. Same error as in the original email....

Dear tkl, I might be on something: I have gs installed in C:\gs\gs10.04.0\bin However, in the bin directory there is no gs command only gswin64 and gswin64c However , xfig needs to find gs . I tried to put a file called gs in C:\gs\gs10.04.0\bin with a one line contents gswinc $* It makes the difference, but not completely: if I call gs -h from the Cygwin64 Terminal, I can se the correct path: Search path: C:\gs\gs10.04.0\bin ; C:\gs\gs10.04.0\lib ; C:\gs\gs10.04.0\fonts ; %rom%Resource/Init/ ; %rom%lib/...

However, the sequence fig2def ab.fig ab.ps ps2pdf ab.ps produces the perfect pdf file.

Thank you very much for your prompt response. As I said below I have ghostscript gs10.04.0 installed that handles properly exporting postscript but not pdf. Maybe I have to re-install the gs again. When I run gs from a shell, I got the error: sh-5.2$ gs & [1] 1451 sh-5.2$ GPL Ghostscript 10.04.0 (2024-09-18) Copyright (C) 2024 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved.
