dvips
Per default, dvips
is in secure mode and won't execute shell
commands in \special commands, like backticks in
\DeclareGraphicsRule, etc. To enable this, change z1
to z0 in /etc/texmf/dvips/config.ps
(second entry).
dvipdfm
In Debian, dvipdfm
uses the settings in
/etc/papersize
to determine the default papersize. This only
takes effect if the paper geometry is not set explicitly in the (La)TeX source,
e.g. using the packages geometry or hyperref.
In most cases, this error is the symptom of a syntax error in the document
— TeX is getting into an infinite loop, and after some time all its
internal registers have been used. Sometimes, however, a large document that
loads a package that uses a lot of TeX's registers leads to that error, or to a
similar error message. The package documentation, the Google archive, or
TeX-related mailing-lists or newsgroups will be helpful to find out which
parameter needs to be changed in /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
(or rather
in /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf
, (see texmf.cnf
and
update-texmf
, Section 2.3.1)).
