I converted all gl2ps code to d and then started debugging with ddbg.
I have got a problem with allocating memory. I have got the following code:

if(gl2ps.bgcolor is cast(GL2PSrgba*)null){
    gl2ps.bgcolor = cast(GL2PSrgba*)malloc(GL2PSrgba.sizeof);
}

and error:
Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION(0xc0000005) at ?Alloc at RTLPool@@QAEPAXXZ (0x0042e8a9) thread(5368)

I don't know what does it mean.
