That looks like the DEBUG error messages from the initial FC2 version of
ghostscript.

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,
