[freeside-users] Printing invoice issues

Thu May 24 16:33:11 PDT 2007

My apologies if Im misleading you here, its been a long time since I installed freeside.  I believe I ran into the same problem and found that dvips and other executables needed were not in a directory that had appropriate permissions to be used by the appropriate users.  I created symbolic links in /usr/local/bin to rectify this.  This is what it looked like in slackware 10.2.  Hope this helps..

  Subject: [freeside-users] Printing invoice issues

  Having an issue printing invoices.

  If I even try to view a typeset invoice I get:

        error:  pslatex /usr/local/etc/freeside/cache.DBI:Pg:dbname=freeside/invoice.8.ttPp7bqk.tex failed; see /usr/local/etc/freeside/cache.DBI:Pg:dbname=freeside/invoice.8.ttPp7bqk.log for details?

        context:  ...  

              2218:  #! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps. 
              2219:  

              2220:  my $sfile = shell_quote $file; 
              2221:  

              2222:  system("pslatex $sfile.tex >/dev/null 2>&1") == 0 
              2223:  or die "pslatex $file.tex failed; see $file.log for details?\n"; 
              2224:  system("pslatex $sfile.tex >/dev/null 2>&1") == 0 
              2225:  or die "pslatex $file.tex failed; see $file.log for details?\n"; 
              2226:  

              ...  

        code stack:  /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/FS/cust_bill.pm:2222
        /usr/local/www/apache22/data/freeside/view/cust_bill-pdf.cgi:22
        /usr/local/www/apache22/data/freeside/autohandler:1 

  Any recommendations on where to start looking?  (There is no .log file created, so I can't start there!)

  Robert Smith
