This uses the right directory; thank you.

I've attached the output from this. These lines are from pnmcrop:

pnmcrop: You cannot specify both -sides and either -black or -white
pnmcrop: You cannot specify both -sides and either -black or -white
pnmcrop: Background color is #c0c0c0
pnmcrop: Cropping 1 pixel from the left border
pnmcrop: Cropping 2 pixels from the right border
pnmcrop: Cropping 2 pixels from the top border
pnmcrop: Cropping 2 pixels from the bottom border
pnmcrop: Background color is white
pnmcrop: The image is entirely background; there is nothing to crop.

Thank you for the suggestion. The error messages come from the first one:

$ /usr/bin/pnmcrop -verbose  < /tmp/l2h27263/p27287.pnm >tmp1.pnm
pnmcrop: Background color is #c0c0c0
pnmcrop: Cropping 1 pixel from the left border
pnmcrop: Cropping 2 pixels from the right border
pnmcrop: Cropping 2 pixels from the top border
pnmcrop: Cropping 2 pixels from the bottom border
pnmcrop: Background color is white
pnmcrop: The image is entirely background; there is nothing to crop.

The second one also gives:

$ /usr/bin/pnmcrop -verbose  -bot -sides  -black < tmp1.pnm > tmp2.pnm
pnmcrop: You cannot specify both -sides and either -black or -white

The final one gives a different error message:

$ /usr/bin/pnmcrop -verbose  -l -sides  -black < tmp2.pnm > tmp3.pnm
pnmcrop: Too many arguments (2).  Only need one: the input filespec

Is this a ghostscript bug?
