I've installed GIMP on OS 10.2 via Darwinports, and I want to open a
postscript file. I get an error - 'gs: command not found' - ie it can't find
ghostscript to display the file. MacGhostView is also installed, so I have
some flavour of ghostscript, just not in the place Gimp expects to find it:
presumably 'gs.exe' in /usr/local/bin.

What distribution of ghostscript will get me the files Gimp requires, in the
right places? I see that Darwinports also has ghostscript listed - will
installing this do the trick?

I'd wager that installing ghostscript with darwinports would do the
trick. fink also has it in the stable tree.

MacGhostView looks to be a Mac app, rather than a unix one, which is
what GIMP is expecting.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

It probably wouldn't be anything with a ".exe" extension, that's not a
Mac convention. You probably don't have toe location of the executable
specified in your "path" environmental variable. See the man page for
whichever shell you're running.
