ghostscript

Thank you very much to all those who responded (and as I hoped response was

fast and furious).

Basically my problem was as pointed out to me:

* The ghostscript package I downloaded included X11 libraries I did not have.

There were a couple of solutions suggested to me:

1. Download the source and compile on my machine without X support

2. Create soft links to existing X libraries.

I had originally tried to run ghostscript 5.5 so I downloaded an older package

5.10. I received the same messages.

I ended up maybe taking the sloppier way out and created the soft links to

older X libraries. I was able to automate the process of converting a

postscript file to JPEG format and display to a browser. All done in a PERL

script. So this issue is resolved.

Thank you again all for getting me going.
