What version of ghostscript do you have installed? If it is the default 7.07-25, grab the newer RPMS from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/ or from one of the mirrors. I did that a while back and it solved the PDF/PS issues, which included the DEBUG errors. HTH, Marc Schwartz
