I'm trying to use pstricks in beamer, and need to compile it with pdflatex. Weirdly, the code works when I have a single frame (see MWE below) but as soon as I add a second frame (i.e. uncomment line 4), my Ghostscript goes crazy it seems. Why is that??

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{pstricks,auto-pst-pdf} 
\begin{document}
%\frame{frame1}
\frame{
  \begin{pspicture}(0,0)(1,1)
    \psdot(.4,.3)
  \end{pspicture}
}
\end{document}

Sample console output:

Last OS error: Invalid argument
Current file position is 116155
GPL Ghostscript 9.10: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

No problem here. What file versions are you running? – Werner Sep 23 '15 at 01:28
@Werner `PSTricks' v2.54a <2014/05/19> (tvz) – mimuller Sep 23 '15 at 01:34
Update your distribution and try again. I am running TeX Live 2015 with the most up-to-date packages, and there's no problem. – Werner Sep 23 '15 at 01:38
you should update Ghostscript – Sep 23 '15 at 10:26
@Herbert I just updated Ghostscript to 9.16, but that didn't help. I don't have time to update the entire distribution right now, but that's what I'll try next. Thanks though! – mimuller Sep 23 '15 at 15:51
try to run your document with xelatex and not loading auto-pst-pdf – Sep 23 '15 at 16:14
Works fine with Texlive2017 – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jul 18 '17 at 17:11

I'm voting to close this question as not reproducible with current version of texlive/ghostscripte – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jul 18 '17 at 17:12
