RE: No PS file created

[Guido Spaanbroek]

Mats,

The version I was running, 2.4.1 is the one installed with .rpm. I've
compiled 2.4.4 and I've switched back to it but it gives exactly the same
error:
address@hidden guido]$ dvips  -t "a4"   -u+ec-mftrace.map -Ppdf
scarlatti_sonata > /dev/null 2>&1
Segmentatie fout

The part that gives me trouble is the ec-mftrace.map. If I remove this file
everything works. I've uninstalled the ec-fonts that were installed using a
rpm archive. Then I build the fonts from source. I executed texhash, this
generates ec-mftrace.map again. And then I've got the same problem. Would it
be one of the references in the ec-mftrace.map? Anyway, at the moment I just
erase the file and everything works.

Regards,

Guido

No, the file ec-mftrace.map come together with the ec-fonts-mftraced
and should be installed somewhere where the TeX programs can find it.
Please remind us, did you build LilyPond and/or ec-fonts-mftraced
from source or install from prebuilt packages. (If you built LilyPond
from source, why didn't you use the latest stable version 2.4.4?)

It's easy to find out which file is a suspect, just call dvips with
one of the -u+... flags but without the other one.
