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,
