考虑 pst-vowel 手册中的以下示例（http://ctan.cs.uu.nl/macros/latex/contrib/pst-vowel/pst-vowel.pdf)：
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tipa,pst-vowel}
\begin{document}
\begin{vowel}
\putcvowel[l]{\textipa{i}}{1}
\putcvowel[r]{\textipa{y}}{1}
\putcvowel[r]{\textipa{u}}{8}
\putcvowel[l]{\textipa{\textturnm}}{8}
\putcvowel{\textipa{\textturna}}{15}
\end{vowel}
\psset{arrowsize=.75ex, nodesep=.25ex}
\ncline{->}{v15}{v1}
\ncline{->}{v15}{v8}
\end{document}
这应该会生成一个包含三个元音和两个 PSTricks 箭头的元音图。但是，在我的系统 (Sabayon Linux) 上，使用 xelatex 编译时，它会生成一个空白页。
有趣的是，如果我注释掉两个 \ncline 命令，我会得到预期的图表，显然没有箭头。
这肯定是我的设置问题，但它是什么呢？我已经安装了 texlive-xetex 和 texlive-pstricks，但在 xelatex 输出中没有看到任何错误消息：

当采用 latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf 路线时，它也能正常工作，但我更希望它在 xelatex 中也能正常工作（因为它改进了字体处理，这是我所依赖的）。
我的设置有什么问题？
编辑：（我还没有资格对您的回复发表评论）我已添加了使用 \listfiles 运行时的输出。然而，在 latex 下运行时会显示相同的输出（除了明显的 xetex.def<->dvips.def），并且它可以正常工作。因此，问题可能出在 xelatex.def 上，还是这只是一个转移注意力的借口？
答案1
正如 Akira Kakuto 的评论所建议的那样，将 ghostscript 从 9.15 降级到 9.10 可以解决该问题。
答案2
使用最新的 TL 2015 和最新的 TL 2014 都没有问题。我使用的是 Ghostscript 9.15。尝试使用 documentclass 的示例minimal，并使用\listfile并发布可以在日志文件末尾找到的文件列表
