As user I cannot open a pdf file using KGhostView or ghostview. I can as root but that, well it sucks. Here is the error I get from ghostview:

Code:
Error: /ioerror in --setfileposition--
Operand stack:
   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   0
Execution stack:
   %interp_exit   .runexec2   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   2   %stopped_push   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   false   1   %stopped_push   1   3   %oparray_pop   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--
Dictionary stack:
   --dict:1047/1123(ro)(G)--   --dict:0/20(G)--   --dict:72/200(L)--   --dict:72/200(L)--   --dict:97/127(ro)(G)--   --dict:229/230(ro)(G)--   --dict:7/15(L)--
Current allocation mode is local


I don't know how to read that but there it is none the less. One of the pdf's is from a backup i did before reinstalling gentoo and the othere is brand new. User has full access rights to the files so that isn't the problem. Any help/ideas would be great. Thanks.

Does an "strace -eopen" on ghostview show any permission violations? Some fonts that couldn't be read or something?

I'm getting the same error when trying to open a pdf file with ghostview.

strace shows the following
Code:

open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose", O_RDONLY) = 4

then i select file open and select top20.pdf and get the following
Code:

open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)
open(".", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 4
open(".", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 4
open(".", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 4
open("top20.pdf", O_RDONLY)             = 4
open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY)        = 5
open("top20.pdf", O_RDONLY)             = 5
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) ---

then an "information" window pops up and i get the original error message posted on the first post.


i read something interested at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ghostview/
Quote:

GV is a version of Ghostview with an improved user interface and the ability to display PDF files.

this leads me to believe that my system is acting correctly... you can't view pdf with ghostview... i emerged gv and ggv and they both work....

BUT, why would konqueror want to default to ghostview for pdf files if it doesn't work? I have to right click on the pdf file and select "other" to select gv and then select "remember...". Even then, the default when clicking is to use ghostview, how can i change it so that it defaults to gv instead of having to right click every time and select gv manually.

thanks.
