[GRASS-user] ps.map: Error Using Fill Patterns

[Rich Shepard]

   In an input file to ps.map I have a vareas section with this:

vareas house_basin
   pat $GISBASE/etc/paint/patterns/diag_down6.eps
   fcolor magenta
   end

   The module runs, but when I try to display the map using gv I get the
raster displayed, but no vector maps. The following error is displayed in a
separate window:

Error: /rangecheck in --makepattern--

   Ideas appreciated in how to resolve this.
