Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Problem using pstricks-add in xelatex

[Isopropyl]

Hi,

I just wanted to make a small chart and suddenly I am spending hours trying to find out why I am getting this error:

Code: Select all

MiKTeX GPL Ghostscript 8.60: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

So, I am including pstricks-add (and only that) and try to do this:

Code: Select all

\psbrace(4.0, 1.5)(14.0, 1.5){Text}
\psbrace(16.0, 1.5)(23.0, 1.5){Other Text}

If I delete these lines, I will not get the above error. Why could that be? I am using

Code: Select all

xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

to compile my document. I tried using the -no-pdf option. That makes the above error message disappear. But for some reason my MikTex 2.7 does not seem to come with "xdv2pdf" (I could not find such a file on my computer and it is also not a registered command) so I could not compile the .xdv file.

I would be very grateful if you could point me in the right direction

Install xetex-pstricks and try again.

Hi Thorsten,

thanks for your reply. That is what I read on the internet, too, when I was searching for the cause of this error. But after I had finally managed to download the pstricks-xetex.con file I found out that it was already in place on my system... So, this did not seem to fix the error

I can reproduce the error even without nonstop mode and I get an output which is not very satisfactory. So I can only suggest to contact either the maintainer of pstricks or of MiKTeX.

Hm, so it appears it is not entirely my fault, then So, I'll try to make contact with the maintainers and see what I can find out. In the meantime I will just have to do without braces
