evince does not display EPS file

[Wojciech Beldycki]

Mint 8 main.
Evince does not display encapsulated postscript files (.EPS) however when trying to preview the file for printing from within evince the content is displayed properly and can be printed to PDF or to the printer.
The same file can be viewed without any problem in Gimp after Gimp's conversion from postscript.
Evince version: 2.28.1
Gimp version: 2.6.7
Attached:
An example of the file in .eps: example.eps

Getting the same error here with evince 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 and poppler 0.12.4-0ubuntu4.

Marking as confirmed.

The bug is still here on ubuntu lucid beta 2

This issue could be a regresion of this bug 24978

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

This issue was sent to Gnome Developers, Thanks.

looks like this issue it's same as bug 479674 related to libspectre library and not evince package.

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

According to upstream report this issue was fixed in git repositories.

just checked in maverick in testdrive.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/552990/+attachment/1260301/+files/example.eps does not render. it just waits, and evince shows a loading message.

my file https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/615939/+attachment/1483832/+files/out.eps renders properly (was broken in lucid)

[Timmy Shih Jun Yee (shijun)]

I also checked in Maverick, and example.eps loads fine in Evince.

I'm running LinuxMint 15 Olivia XFCE with Evince 3.6.1-1ubuntu3 and ghostiscript 9.07~dfsg2-0ubuntu3.1
Evince is not able to open any eps file. When I launch it on terminal I get the following error message:

undefined -21
