Hi there.
one thing to do is to check if ghostview is still trying to parse the
page (i.e., take a simple docuemnt and preview it -- see if it still hangs
forever). Apparently, it works fine on this end, and here is the line in the
global.prf that invokes it:
*.previewCommand: cat - >/tmp/%s.PS; ghostview-wrapper -magstep -1 /tmp/%s.PS
; rm -f /tmp/%s.PS /tmp/%s.n
presumably, if ghostview loads, then it could be aghostview problem, but I
would tend to assume that it isn't hanging, but is just busy trying to process
the page.
