I have recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 (Not upgrade, a clean install). In Ubuntu 18.04, the rendering LaTeX function in Inkscape is not working. Following is the error output:
*** WARNING - the DELAYBIND command has been deprecated, and will be
removed in the next version. For now you can restore
the behaviour by using -dREALLYDEALYBIND but if you
require continued use of this command you should contact
the Ghostscript developers. Commercial customers of
Artifex should email their support contact, free users
are encouraged to talk to us on the #ghostscript IRC

From the google search, what I have found that the problem is arising because of the ghostscript. The Render>LaTeX

the flag DELAYBIND
has been deprecated. The solution is to downgrade ghostscript
to or below 9.20 version. The following are the methods that I have tried to downgrade ghostscript
without any success.
Downgrading ghostscript from apt or aptitute
I have tried to downgrade the ghostrict
using the following command.
sudo aptitude install ghostscript=9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2
Or by using
sudo apt install ghostscript=9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2
I am getting the following output
Unable to find a version "9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2" for the package "ghostscript"
or
E: Version '9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2' for 'ghostscript' was not found
I have tried some other version, like 9.20 of ghost script. Nothing worked.
Installing from ghostscript website:
I have downloaded the ghostscript
from the ghostscript website
, and installed using the following command
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
It seems the installation is done, but if I am running the command
ghostscript --version
It is showing the version as 9.22.
All the online solution that I am able to find is pointing towards the downgrading the ghostscript
. But I don't know how to do it in Ubuntu 18.04.
Any solution?

Assuming you use Latex Inkscape plugin, texText, it support pdf2svg beside ghostscript+pstoedit. So, in case of Ubuntu 18.04, installing pdf2svg solves the problem
sudo apt install pdf2svg
It works for me on Ubuntu 18.04, InkScape 0.92.
Yes, this solves the problem. I am already started using TexText some time ago, but still thanks for the information.

In this specific case building pstoedit from source does not solve the problem because the svg backend is not included by default (as already experienced above). Hence, I propose to update ghostscript to version 9.23.
After downloading and extracting the ghostscript source tarball from https://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html enter the source directory and execute the following three commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
This simply overwrites the existing ghostscript version and then one does not need to fiddle around with dependencies.
If you encounter problems elsewhere due to the new gs version you can easily switch back by
sudo apt-get install ghostscript --reinstall
Drawback of this solution is that security updates of ghostscript installed by the system will overwrite your installation and you need to re-install. However, as long as there are no pre-built binaries available this might be a first workaround

Just ran into the same problem using pstoedit to convert EPS to DXF files.
No need to downgrade ghostscript!
Easiest Solution
- Upgrade pstoedit
- Run pstoedit with the
-rdb
flag.
Step-by-Step
Remove Ubuntu-current pstoedit:
sudo apt-get remove pstoedit
Download latest pstoedit:
- Download latest from Sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pstoedit/files/latest/download?source=files)
- Extract to a folder of your choice
Install new pstoedit:
- Open the extracted folder in a terminal (right-click on folder → open in terminal)
Run:
./configure
make
sudo make install
Run with -rdb flag:
- Now, when you run pstoedit, add the
-rdb
flag. - For example:
pstoedit -dt -f dxf:-polyaslines "input-file.eps" -rdb "output-file.dxf"
- This flag tells pstoedit to use the new 'force' option to make ghostscript accept the delaybind command. The release notes warn that this should ONLY be done on trusted files, as it can open security vulnerabilities.
- Now, when you run pstoedit, add the
I am not using pstoedit manually, it is actually called by an extension of Inkscape (Extension>Render>LaTeX). So, can you suggest how to use -rdb flag with the extension.

The 9.18 release is in the xenial (16.04) archive. If you want to install it you will have to add the xenial repository to your sources.list
file:
sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted universe"
and then you should be able to see the available versions with apt-cache madison ghostscript
ghostscript | 9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2 | http:// archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
and install with sudo apt-get install ghostscript=9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2
I am getting the following errorGPL Ghostscript 9.18: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps
and If I am creating a link usingsudo ln -s /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22 /usr/share/ghostscript/9.18
and then running ghostscript, I am getting following error:gs: Interpreter revision (918) does not match gs_init.ps revision (922)
. Any work around?

For people not wanting to compile a newer pstoedit
or downgrade ghostscript
, there is a third option: the Nix package manager. It works in Mac, Linux and Windows 10, so this is a cross-platform solution. Once you install Nix and it is in your PATH
, just do
nix-env -i pstoedit
.
Happy LaTeXing in Inkscape!

Just ran into the same problem using pstoedit to convert EPS to DXF files.
No need to downgrade ghostscript!
Easiest Solution
- Upgrade pstoedit
- Run pstoedit with the
-rdb
flag.
Step-by-Step
Remove Ubuntu-current pstoedit:
sudo apt-get remove pstoedit
Download latest pstoedit:
- Download latest from Sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pstoedit/files/latest/download?source=files)
- Extract to a folder of your choice
Install new pstoedit:
- Open the extracted folder in a terminal (right-click on folder → open in terminal)
Run:
./configure
make
sudo make install
Run with -rdb flag:
- Now, when you run pstoedit, add the
-rdb
flag. - For example:
pstoedit -dt -f dxf:-polyaslines "input-file.eps" -rdb "output-file.dxf"
- This flag tells pstoedit to use the new 'force' option to make ghostscript accept the delaybind command. The release notes warn that this should ONLY be done on trusted files, as it can open security vulnerabilities.
- Now, when you run pstoedit, add the

The 9.18 release is in the xenial (16.04) archive. If you want to install it you will have to add the xenial repository to your sources.list
file:
sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted universe"
and then you should be able to see the available versions with apt-cache madison ghostscript
ghostscript | 9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2 | http:// archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
and install with sudo apt-get install ghostscript=9.18~dfsg~0-0ubuntu2
I am getting the following errorGPL Ghostscript 9.18: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps
and If I am creating a link usingsudo ln -s /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22 /usr/share/ghostscript/9.18
and then running ghostscript, I am getting following error:gs: Interpreter revision (918) does not match gs_init.ps revision (922)
. Any work around?

For people not wanting to compile a newer pstoedit
or downgrade ghostscript
, there is a third option: the Nix package manager. It works in Mac, Linux and Windows 10, so this is a cross-platform solution. Once you install Nix and it is in your PATH
, just do
nix-env -i pstoedit
.
Happy LaTeXing in Inkscape!
