Re: GSview problem

[Carlos Garcia Suarez]

Thanks Mats,

I just did as you indicated and it works. Thanks really. I am a bit
surprise. The only doubt is that when opening GSview it says that you need
to register for Ghostview. Does it means that one have to buy that piece of
sotware?

Thanks

carlos

For some silly reason, the Postscript viewing program isn't
installed by default. Just rerun the setup.exe program (don't
worry, it will not try to reinstall the things you already have
installed). When you come to the setup page entitled
"Select packages to install", click on the "View" button at the
top right corner and then click on the arrows for the line
with gsview, this will select both gs and gsview, then click
on Next to finish the installation.

On my machine, GSview did not find the correct path to the
ghostscript program, even though we have recently tried to
fix this problems. The solution in my case was to click on
Options->Advanced configure, then on "Defaults" and "Ok".
However, I already have another copy of GSview installed on
the machine as a Windows application. Also, I installed as
an ordinary user on a Windows 2000 machine so there might be
some problems with access rights. Hopefully it will work on
your machine without these extra steps.
