Ok, I've thought that.  So it works on the command line but not from
lisp.  Could you please try evaluating this expression and tell us what
it messages?

(let ((process (start-process "ps2pdf conversion"
               "ps2pdf conversion output"
               "ps2pdf"
               "-dSAFER"
               "/home/devel/test.ps"
               
"/tmp/docview1001/test.ps-932911a0f86866e1b95b1aaf506a818b/doc.pdf")))
  (set-process-sentinel process
                        #'(lambda (proc event)
                            (message "Process: %s had the event `%s'"
                                     proc event))))  ;; C-x C-e here

I guess it'll say something like

  Process: ps2pdf conversion had the event `killed
  '

which wouldn't give me more of a clue than I have right now, though. :-(

Bye,
