[pstricks] pst-solides3d - Ghostscript troubleshooting

[Jacques RUBIN]

Hi!

I would like to use the package "pst-solides3d" in my LaTeX document.
I use the TeXStudio app on the linux distribution Fedora 22.
The content of the .tex file comes from the "pst-solides3d: The
Documentation - The basics" written by J.-P. Vignault and al. (p.42) and
is the following:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,oneside,onecolumn,notitlepage]{article}
%
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{pst-solides3d}
\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}
%
\begin{document}
%
\begin{pspicture}(-4,-1.5)(3,1)
    \psset{unit=.5}
    \psSolid[object=grille,
                base=-3 5 -3 3,
                linecolor=grey,
                hue=(jaune) (CadetBlue)](0,0,0)
\end{pspicture}
%
\end{document}
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Then, typesetting with xelatex, I obtain the message:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Process started: xelatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode
--shell-escape "draft_pstricks".tex

GPL Ghostscript 9.16: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

Process exited normally
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Typesetting with pdflatex gives:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Process started: pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode
--shell-escape "draft_pstricks".tex

Then, a mere blank page is produced rather than the expected planar grid.
The problem seems to come from the Ghostscript configuration. So, I did
the following sequence: latex -> dvi -> ps -> ps2pdf, and the problem
appeared in the last step with the use of ps2pdf. So, is the ps file
corrupted or the config file for Ghostscript must be modified? And How?
Anyway, how to solve this problem?

Best regards

Jacques
