Re: finding gsview in epstk version 1.8... thanks, and here's more info.

[Alan Rockwood]

Thanks to all who have responded to my question on epstk/gsview. With the 
information given in the posts, plus a little guessing and experimentation 
on my own I found that the following lines worked.


%ePath='./';%default directory of epstk-mfiles
ePath='/usr/local/share/octave/site/m/epstk/m/';%default directory of 
epstk-mfiles

%eGhostview='ghostview -magstep -1'; %ghostview for linux
eGhostview='"c:/Program Files/Ghostgum/gsview/gsview32.exe"'; %ghostview for 
windows

%eGhostscript='gs'; %ghostscript for linux
eGhostscript='"c:/Program Files/gs/gs7.00/bin/gswin32.exe"'; %ghostscript 
for windows


In addition to fixing the character %, I also found it necessary to place 
double quotes inside the single quotes and to replace the backslashes with 
forward slashes in the paths to gsview and ghostscript. (I suspect that part 
of the problem was the space in the name of the directory Program Files.) It 
may be a good idea to add this information to the installation notes.
