[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49718] Octave crashes on print/saveas etc when installed on a directory with parenthesis

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #37, bug #49718 (project octave):

@John: Thank you. The attached patch should fix 14, 15, 16, but for eps
formats I am a bit lost. 

I know nothing about "8.3 path". Does the path in the error message reproduced
below look like a valid path?


'""C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.X)\mingw64\bin\gs.exe" -h"' is not recognized as an
internal or external command


This command is run using "system" in print>epstool at line 808, could you try
to understand why it fails, and why we see those strange additional
surrounding double quotes:


dbstop print>epstool 808
plot (1:10)
print ("-debug", fullfile (tempdir (), "toto.eps"))


BTW, "eps2write" is part of any recent ghostscript version, so the easiest fix
for this bug is to simply not run this command and use "eps2write" by default
(as done on linux).
