Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
Hi all,
I am running Macos 10.14.5 (18F132), and installed Ghostscript via Macports. I have recently upgraded to version 9.27. The full output for ghostscript -version
reads:
GPL Ghostscript 9.27 (2019-04-04) Copyright (C) 2018 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved.
I have a script for batch converting PDF files to PNG files, which goes:
for i in *.pdf; do convert -verbose -density 600 -trim $i -quality 100 -flatten $(basename "$i" .pdf).png;done
After I upgraded to the latest version of Ghostscript, this no longer works. I get an 'Abort trap: 6' for each file in the batch. Sample output reads:
[ghostscript library 9.27] -sstdout=%stderr -dQUIET -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dAlignToPixels=0 -dGridFitTT=2 '-sDEVICE=pngalpha' -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 '-r600x600' '-sOutputFile=/var/folders/k0/m6mz3d055m75782ynnkt2k0w0000gn/T/magick-5910MkmWy1yIM0tx%d' '-f/var/folders/k0/m6mz3d055m75782ynnkt2k0w0000gn/T/magick-5910gs9cNcP8C7cU' '-f/var/folders/k0/m6mz3d055m75782ynnkt2k0w0000gn/T/magick-5910iJZ-CiPdfIWp'Abort trap: 6
When I upgraded Ghostscript to 9.27, I also upgraded Imagemagick to a new version. First thought this would be related to Imagemagick, so I posted this over in the Imagemagick forum (http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36183&sid=9a6db9c431ce72426e9a61ed1ab4fb16).

Not enough information has been provided here to know whether that is relevant.
"Abort trap: 6" is a crash, which means macOS should have generated a crash log file in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports. Could one of you please attach the relevant crash log?

Thanks for your help.
I have a bunch of crash reports all generated around the time I was trying to convert a pdf to a jpg file with imagemagick. There are crash reports named convert_* and others identify_* They look pretty similar to me, just in case I have attached 2 representative examples of both. Please let me know if I can assist the bug tracking in any other way.

This is relevant insofar as it is me who asked this question on Stackoverflow.

Problem persists after upgrading to Macports base version 2.6.0.
comment:9 Changed 5 years ago by wilya7
I am using emacs org-mode for a project and I have to use a lot of Latex. With this bug it is impossible to do a preview of latex code as org-mode uses convert utility to generate a png image from the an intermediate pdf file, which with ghostscript 2.27 fails with an "Abort trap:6" error due to this bug. Therefore I had to downgrade to ghostscript 2.26, as suggested in this thread. Now that I did that, everything works! I followed the procedure outlined here: howto/InstallingOlderPort
Briefly, this what I did (for other noobs like me):
cd mkdir git cd git git clone --single-branch https://github.com/macports/macports-ports.git cd macports-ports git checkout b79b19f8fe80d5e804eee9c62fd73a2ac980f82a cd print/ghostscript sudo port install
I hope that ghostscript developers manage to track down this bug. I cannot understand how this does not affects more people! From my point of view this bug is a problem big enough to require a downgrade by macports project.
Edit: I specified the use of "sudo" when installing the port. Thanks to Szepi for suggesting it.

This indeed works. (You may need to change port install to sudo port install..)
comment:11 Changed 5 years ago by 7RKJ2rIlETTFzZwO
Also recommend upgrading outdated ports using
sudo port upgrade outdated and not rdependentof:ghostscript and not ghostscript
for the time being.
I second the suggestion of downgrading GS to 9.26 in the repositories until this is issue is resolved.

This problem has also been reported as #57740.
How about instead of downgrading ghostscript we try to update it to the latest version, which is 9.50.
comment:13 Changed 5 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Looks like as of Ghostscript 9.27, a change is needed in ImageMagick when initializing Ghostscript. We need to update to ImageMagick 6.9.10-71 6.9.10-39 or later to get the fix.

Duplicate of #57740.
I can confirm the problem.
If I use only ghostscript, it works
