Description Musikolo 2010-12-08 23:20:12 UTC 
Hi,

I've tried to join several PDF files into one by issuing the next command:

gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=finished.pdf file1.pdf file2.pdf

but I get a "Segmentation fault" message. I found the above command at http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/36815

This issue is being tracked at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22006 and it would be very useful to read all comments posted there.

Best regards.

This works for me in v.9.00 and the HEAD.

Please try to rebuild your gs from the sources to exclude the problems
caused by a bad build.

Another hint when rebuilding -- disable ALL use of shared libraries. Insure
that all of the following are specified in you Makefile:

SHARE_FT=0
SHARE_LCMS=0
SHARE_LIBPNG=0
SHARE_LIBTIFF=0
SHARE_JBIG2=0
SHARE_JPEG=0
SHARE_JPX=0
SHARE_ZLIB=0
