| Summary | 0000627: Ghostscript 9.14 can't load Ghostscript DLL | ||||
| Description | Attempting to start gvpm with a pdf file results in a popup window which says Can't load Ghostscript dll. If the input is a ps file this message is preceded by a long list of other error messages; the exact content of these error messages vary from one ps file to another. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Issue the command g:\gs914\gsview2\gvpm.exe filespec | ||||
| Additional Information | Same result on a T60 widescreen. I am uploading a file containing the following: 1. gvpm.ini (minus registation information) 2. message after attempting to open pdf 3. message after attempting to open ps Both the pdf and the ps file open and print correctly using Ghostscript 8.71 which is the last version which works here. | ||||

looks like it needs cups17.dll - can you install it and confirm? http://smedley.id.au/tmp/cups17.zip |
|
|
I extracted cups17.dll from the zip and placed it both in g:\gs914\gsview2 (the directory where the gvpm execuatble is located) and in d:\os2\dll (a directory on LIBPATH. I still get the same result. |
|
|
can you run chkdsk32 against gsdll2.dll and confirm you have all DLL requirements on your system? |
|
|
Surely you meant something like pmdll! Here is the output: DLL tree - G:\GS914\GS9.14\BIN\GSDLL2.DLL Page 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GSDLL2.DLL? ?LIBC065.DLL?? ? ?DOSCALL1.DLL ? ?NLS.DLL ? ?KBDCALLS.DLL ? ?VIOCALLS.DLL ?PMSPL.DLL ?DOSCALL1.DLL ?PMGPI.DLL ?PMWIN.DLL ?CUPS17.DLL ?TCPIP32.DLL?? ?DOSCALL1.DLL ?MSG.DLL DLL tree - G:\GS914\GS9.14\BIN\GSDLL2.DLL Page 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Module : LIBC065.DLL Loaded from : D:\ECS\DLL\LIBC065.DLL File size : 1,353,208 bytes File date/time: 03-23-12 04:32:50 am Module : TCPIP32.DLL Loaded from : D:\MPTN\DLL\TCPIP32.DLL File size : 87,504 bytes File date/time: 08-16-11 06:01:00 am Nevertheless the dll fails to load on both the desktop and the T60. |

Phillip and chkdll32 do the same thing. Can you run pull on cups17.dll |
|
|
Not familiar with pull. Google didn't help. Can you give me a URL where I can get it? |
|
|
Added thought for what it's worth: All of my printers use native OS/2 drivers. CUPS is not installed on any of my systems. I don't understand why cups17.dll is required. None of the earlier versions of Ghostscript needed it. |
|
|
Meanwhile, I checked my download directory and found that I do have a copy of chkdll32.exe. Its output is much more voluminous that that of pmdll. Moreover it gets a different result. I shall upload the output of chkdll32.exe -!-l g:\gs914\gs9.14\bin\gsdll2.dll >gsdll2.txt 2>&1 |
|
|
you're missing gcc473.dll. I'll try rebuild ghostscript tomorrow without the cups17.dll dependency. |
|
|
I built 9.15 - will give you a link in the morning once I test |
|
|
http://smedley.id.au/tmp/ghostscript-9.15-os2-20141011.zip If you confirm it's OK, I'll add it to my site. In terms of the cups requirement, it was unintentional to depend on the dll, I normally link the cups stuff statically. Please understand though, that if CUPS didn't need ghostscript, I would have probably never worked on updating ghostscript. The fact that the updates to add cups support helped others using gsview with a side bonus :) |

Ghostscript 9.15 opens correctly for all files I have tries. The ljet4 and ljet4d devices work correctly but are only black and white. As Ghostscript configures itself, it offers the pswrite device but any attempt to use results in the message Unknown device pswrite. There are some references to ps2write in gvpm.ini but there is no ps2write entry in the device list. I tried fixing up gvpm.ini to get ps2write to work but so far no success. It does seem to recognize the device but is unable actually to use it. I am uploading a zip containing the following: gvpm0.ini gvpm.ini immediately after install gvpm1.ini after opening a pdf with 0 and trying to use pswrite gvpm2.ini after editing 0 to try to get ps2write working gvpm3.ini after opening a pdf with 3 and trying to use ps2write gvpm4.ini ofter opening a pdf with 3 and printing using ljet4. The ps printing attempts use the OS/2 printer object CP2025PS which uses the Postscript driver. The ljet4 attempt uses the printer object CP2025PC which uses the LASERJET driver. Both printer objects refer to the same physical printer which is connected via USB. The ljet4 attempt printed correctly once I changed MEDIA from A4 to LETTER. I am unable to capture the messages from the ljet4 printout since the fly by too fast even to read them before the window closes. |

jjw: I just ran into the same 9.14 error you reported, was about to log a BUG for Paul but it sounds like the 9.15 release fixes this...I will try it next. Regarding the print problem...I previously had this issue with 9.10...logged a BUG (see 594 - GhostView with Ghostscript 9.10 fails to print all documents) but even with the suggested changes to the gvpmi.ini file (found in \OS2) I wasn't able to get it to work. The last version that works here with both GView 5.00 and 4.9 is GhostScript 9.04, this is what I keep on using due to the print problem. |

UPDATE re: 9.15 and print ========================= 9.15 release works great for viewing files, but print is still broken, getting the following error message: === START === Unknown device: pswrite Unrecoverable error: syntaxerror in --nostringval-- Operand stack: defaultdevice Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice Operand stack: defaultdevice gsapi_exit returns 0 DosFreeModule returns 12 === END === |

pswrite was removed in Ghostscript 9.x. gvpm needs to be modified to use ps2write See http://mantis.smedley.id.au/view.php?id=594 for details on what to change in x:\os2\gvpm.ini |
|
|
I made that change. Here are the error messages from trying to print to device ps2write: GPL Ghostscript 9.15 (2014-09-22) Copyright (C) 2014 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved. This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details. GPL Ghostscript 9.15: **** Could not open the file \\spool\CP2025PS . **** Unable to open the initial device, quitting. GPL Ghostscript 9.15: **** Could not open the file \\spool\CP2025PS . Unrecoverable error: ioerror in setpagedevice Operand stack: true --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- gsapi_exit returns 0 DosFreeModule returns 12 (The messages about being unable to open the SPOOL file are always there and don't cause problems) The full gvpm.ini files are in the zip I uploaded earlier. |
|
|
Paul: the instructions you provided in my old ticket (594) did not work for me...I could never get ps2write device to be recognized...the error message would ONLY reference pswrite. No amount of tweaking the internals of gvpm.ini and somehow translating pswrite=>ps2write helped. |
|
|
My experience is different: If I do not modify gvpm.ini, ps2write does not appear in the list of available devices in the Print menu but pswrite does; but if I select pswrite and try to print, I get the following: Unknown device: pswrite Unrecoverable error: syntaxerror in --nostringval-- Operand stack: defaultdevice Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice Operand stack: defaultdevice gsapi_exit returns 0 DosFreeModule returns 12 On the other hand, if I modify gvpm.ini then the ps2device is listed in the Print menu, and if I select ps2write and try to print I get: GPL Ghostscript 9.15: **** Could not open the file \\spool\CP2025PS . **** Unable to open the initial device, quitting. GPL Ghostscript 9.15: **** Could not open the file \\spool\CP2025PS . Unrecoverable error: ioerror in setpagedevice Operand stack: true --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- gsapi_exit returns 0 DosFreeModule returns 12 So it appears that there is a ps2write device there but it doesn't work. |

you may need to make the changes to printer.ini in the gvpm directory as well. Note i've only tested print to file here. Print to file works for me with gs 9.15 and ps2write |
|
|
Aha! Print to file works correctly here using ps2write in version 9.15. The resulting .ps file prints correctly when copied to the postscript printer. The fact that ps2write produces a correct postscript byte stream and can write it to a file suggests to me that whatever problem is preventing it from sending the same byte stream directly to the printer is probably fairly trivial. One further note: I used pswrite with 8.71 and ps2write with 9.15 to print the same .pdf to files. The two files produced identical results when copied to the printer. The file sizes were 59,281 and 226,897 respectively. Thanks for all your efforts. |
|
|
This morning I received a pdf that loaded and displayed correctly in both 8.71 and 9.15. Neither 8.71 nor Lucide could print the file either directly to the printer or to a file. The .ps file produced by 9.15 printed correctly. Definitely a step forward. |
|
|
Which settings need to be changed in gvpm.ini and how? Maybe someone can upload a working example....? |
|
|
Great question David...I've tried just about all the combos I could think off...what I can tell you for sure is that for a particular gvpm.ini file: 1) GS 9.04 works 2) GS anything > 9.04 does NOT work ...therefore, I can only conclude there are some internal GS changes that are causing this. FYI, I currently have 2 versions of GhostView installed, 4.9 and 5.0, both exhibit the same behaviour. |
|

For best results, delete gvpm.ini from B:\OS2, where B is your boot drive, before installing a new version. Otherwise, gvpm.ini will be "polluted" with leftover information from the previous version. After installation, registration, and configuration, open gvpm.ini in a text editor. Find the [Devices] section and look for the line beginning 'pswrite=...'. Change 'pswrite' to 'ps2write'. I also delete the other lines relating to pswrite, but I don't think that is really necessary. Bear in mind that this only partly fixes the problem. To use the ps2write device, you have to check the print to file box and manually copy the resulting .ps file to your postscript printer. |
