Bug Description

Hello,

since Inkscape 0.92.3 I can't render LaTeX formula anymore with Extensions -> Render -> LaTeX...

I am under Xubuntu 18.04 4.15.0-34-generic.
I have Inkscape 0.92.3+68~ubuntu18.04.1, pstoedit 3.70-5 and ghostscript 9.22~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1.2 installed with apt.

I don't know how to fix this issue. Does anyone faces the same trouble ?

Thank you for help.

Here is the error message:
"
*** WARNING - the DELAYBIND command has been deprecated, and will be

               removed in the next version. For now you can restore

               the behaviour by using -dREALLYDEALYBIND but if you

               require continued use of this command you should contact

               the Ghostscript developers. Commercial customers of

               Artifex should email their support contact, free users

               are encouraged to talk to us on the #ghostscript IRC

               channel on irc.freenode.net.

Remark: if I go to /tmp/inkscape-KSs2Xx/ I can see eq.tex and I can compile it with LaTeX without difficulty. Indeed, eq.svg is empty...

You need to update pstoedit to version 3.71 or higher, see also duplicate bug #1734624.
