Since Evince doesn't work with *.eps on 13.04 (see bellow), is there any other app to quickly open (not edit) a *.eps file?
petr@sova:~$ evince histogram_default.eps undefined -21 undefined -21 (evince:12208): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_misc_pixbuf_from_surface: assertion `surface' failed (evince:12208): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed 02 Answers
Try using ghostscript from the command line. This has worked for me. It may need to be installed from the repositories if not present on your system. sudo apt-get install ghostscript or the equivalent.
Actually, this is a bug of Ghostscript.
It has a problem dealing with the decimal separator "," in some locales. To workaround you can start evince like this:
LANG=en_US evince my_file.ps
