In the GIMP bin folder, rename libgs-8.dll to libgs-8.dll.backup. You can revert back to this file in case something goes wrong. Then, rename gsdll64.dll to libgs-8.dll. The next time you run GIMP and open/import an EPS file, after the 'Import from PostScript' dialog, the file will open as usual. =) References. GIMP EPS bug report on GNOME Bugzilla.

This entry was posted in and tagged on by I had a need to work on an EPS format file for a client web site so I reached for the tool I had last used for this – namely the GIMP – short for the Gnu Image Manipulation program. If not familiar think free Photoshop alternative. I was surprised though to find an error when importing the.eps file – “could not interpret postscript file” – the problem – a bug with one of the dlls apparently. Ufraw.

So to get this resolved you need another application in this case Ghostscript to get the faulty dll replacement you need • Install Ghostscript from the. Be sure to get the 64 bit version. • If GIMP is open, close it. • From the Ghostscript bin folder ( C: Program Files gs gs9.18 bin for me; your version number may be different), copy the gsdll64.dll file to the GIMP bin folder ( C: Program Files GIMP 2 bin for me).

• In the GIMP bin folder, rename libgs-8.dll to libgs-8.dll.backup. You can revert back to this file in case something goes wrong. • Then, rename gsdll64.dll to libgs-8.dll.

Restart GIMP and retry your import. Post navigation • •.
