G'day, |

A few weeks ago I discovered that emacs is no longer rendering pdf |
| 4 |
files. Before, I could open a pdf file and read it using emacs, but no |
| 5 |
longer. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
When I open a pdf I get the following messages: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
### message #1 ### in buffer that used to show the rendered pdf ### |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Welcome to DocView! |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If you see this buffer it means that the document you want to view is |
| 15 |
being converted to PNG and the conversion of the first page hasn't |
| 16 |
finished yet or `doc-view-conversion-refresh-interval' is set to nil. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
For now these keys are useful: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
`q' : Bury this buffer. Conversion will go on in background. |
| 21 |
`k' : Kill the conversion process and this buffer. |
| 22 |
`K' : Kill the conversion process.\n")))) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
### message #2 ### in the emacs status bar ### |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
DocView: process pdf/ps->>png changed status to exited anbormally with |
| 27 |
code 127 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
### end of messages ### |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Research shows that both messages come from file |
| 32 |
/usr/share/emacs/23.4/lisp/doc-view.el. The first messsages is from |
| 33 |
function doc-view-buffer-message() and the second is from function |
| 34 |
doc-view-sentinel(proc event). |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Any suggestions of what's gone missing on my system ??? |

Thanks. |

P.S. emacs is still rendering images (jpg, png, tiff, etc). |
