Comment 2 Carlos Garcia Campos 2008-12-12 17:27:38 UTC 
It works for me. It looks like a libspectre issue, though. What libspectre version do you have installed?

Thanks.
Comment 3 Pacho Ramos 2008-12-12 19:36:31 UTC 
I have app-text/libspectre-0.2.1
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2008-12-12 19:48:38 UTC 
The same with libspectre-0.2.2

I am using ghostscript-gpl-8.63 (maybe it's a problem with it as distros patches it a lot, for example, some months ago I checked opensuse's src.rpm and they were applying a lot of patches that gentoo was not applying but, I didn't know what were they doing, I didn't sent them to bugs.gentoo.org)
Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2008-12-15 19:39:21 UTC 
the behavior changes a bit when compiling libspectre with system ghostscript:
http://patch-tracking.debian.net/patch/series/view/libspectre/0.2.2.ds-1/use-system-ghostscript.patch

it still crashes but a different error is shown:
GPL Ghostscript 8.63: Initialization file gs_init.ps does not begin with an integer.
fatal internal error -100
** (evince:24217): WARNING **: Error rendering PS document /home/pacho/Desktop/evince_TEST/doscolumnas/fig1.eps: render error

But kdvi and xdvi work fine :-/
Comment 6 Emmanuel Fleury 2009-11-03 08:03:53 UTC 
Hmmm, couldn't make it crash with Evince 2.29.1 (git master) either...

Is this bug still here for you by now ?
Comment 7 Pacho Ramos 2009-11-03 14:12:29 UTC 
With 2.26 is the same, and, with 2.28.1 it's even worse and crashes just at start, I have already sent bug 600552
