[pstricks] pstricks on mactex2021 (with xelatex)

[Thierry WYBRECHT]

Hallo all,

after upgrading to mactex2021, pstricks code doesn’t work anymore with xelatex.

First, after upgrading, it was Ghostscript : unable to write on the disk I think.

Second, after updating MacTex2021 (today for example), no more error message for ghostscript in the log, but no graphics drawn, no labels at the right place !

What should I do to have pstricks working again with xelatex ??

source example:  
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{pstricks-add}

\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(2,2)
  \psline(-1.5,-1.5)(1.5,1.5)
  \rput(-1.5,-1.5){$(-1.5;-1.5)$}
  \rput(1.5,1.5){$(1.5;1.5)$}
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}

Using emacs with auctex (but do'nt think it’s so important).
Thank your for your help.
