using LANG=C fixes it, i.e.

LANG=C okular myfile.eps
LANG=C evince myfile.eps

Will make it work

Talked to the ghostcript devels and they agree it's a bug in their side, for now they said we can workaround it by adding 
char *lala = setlocale(LC_ALL, "POSIX");
gsaspi_call
setlocale(LC_ALL, lala);

to our code.

Carlos, what do you think?

for every call to the GS API?

The problem of that hack is that setlocale might affect other threads currently running. Do we know which versions exactly are affected by this bug? Is it fixed already? is there a patch distros could apply?

9.07

No clue, i told them on IRC and they said the bug has been there forever, but it's not since with 9.06 it works, they said they'd fix it but can't find anything in their git log that says it's been fixed. Going to download and compile now to try here

Tried last git version and still fails :_/

Upstream bug http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693843

That's been fixed upstream, we can probably close this bug and just hope distros patch their stuff
