Re: gv (gs) not producing full plots on AMD64 with nVidia

I'm running Debian etch on my AMD64 box. It has an nVidia GeForce 6600

shows that interpretting is progressing but it never completes the plot.
(If I take the same file and run it through 'gv' on another machine
there is no problem and the plot is plotted within a second or so.) I'd
welcome ideas on how to diagnose what's happening and on how to fix it.

Make sure that you actually use the same version of ghostscript on both
machines, e.g. by comparing the output of this:

dpkg -l ghostscript\* gs-\* | awk '/^[^D|+]/{print $1,$2,$3}' | column -t

From your symptoms I would suspect that something is wrong with
ghostscript; however, you can easily test the "nvidia hypothesis" by
switching X to the vesa driver and opening the file again.
