Comment 7 for bug 498814

ps2pdf works. I know this, as LaTeX uses it to generate pdf of my gnuplot eps for PDFLatex. Running it manually, I get a reasonable looking PDF output.

Converting the eps file with inkscapec:
C:\Program Files\Inkscape\> inkscapec.exe -e C:\plot_malus.pdf C:\plot_malus.eps
** Message: Found local interpreter, 'C:\Program Files\Inkscape\python\pythonw.exe', size: 24576
Background RRGGBBAA: ffffff00
Area: 0:0:765:990 exported to 765 x 990 pixels (90 dpi)
Bitmap saved as: C:\plot_malus.pdf

Opening this file, however, generates an error in Adobe Reader 9, as well as gsview.

Running inkscapec on the output from ps2pdf produces the following output. I just ran inkscapec then used the GUI to open the file.
C:\Program Files\Inkscape\> inkscapec.exe

(inkscape.exe:2092): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'object-visible'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it. You can get a copy from: http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

And then it returns to a live prompt - inkscapec is gone, the error message from my first post is produced, and the Windows error reporting dialog appears. The file generated by ps2pdf is viewable in Adobe Reader, gsview, and can be compiled into a PDF via LaTeX and pdflatex.
