[tex-k] epstopdf: using eps libraries

[Marcel Tünnissen]

Hi,

Thanks Reinhard, that works great!

Btw, without the --nogs was the first thing I tried, but that gave me this:

$ /usr/bin/epstopdf  --gscmd='gs -dNOSAFER'  -o=f.pdf triangles.eps
epstopdf ($Id: epstopdf.pl 26570 2012-05-22 16:14:37Z karl $) 2.18
!!! Error: Cannot open Ghostscript for piped input

Cheers
Marcel
