Since Evince doesn't work with *.eps on 13.04 (see bellow), is there any other app to quickly open (not edit) a *.eps file?
petr@sova:~$ evince histogram_default.eps
undefined -21

Try using ghostscript from the command line. This has worked for me. It may need to be installed from the repositories if not present on your system. sudo apt-get install ghostscript or the equivalent.
Actually, this is a bug of Ghostscript.
It has a problem dealing with the decimal separator "," in some locales. To workaround you can start evince like this:
LANG=en_US evince my_file.ps
