I have a problem when running gv on one computer and displaying
it on another. Both computers run RH5.2 . Let's say I'm logged
into "local" and ssh to "remote"

brings up the gv menu, but then a window marked "Ghostscript
Messages" pops up and contains the message:

"Error: Postscript interpreter failed in main window"

I have now problem displaying other X apps and , oddly, no
problem when "local" is a RedHat 4.2 system! The versions of
XF86 on each are identical (3.3.3.1-1). When run at the console
of "remote" everything is fine. Here is more relevant info:

ghostscript-fonts-other-5.10-6
ghostscript-fonts-std-5.10-7
ghostscript-5.10-7

gv is version 3.5.8-5. Ideas? -pat

PS: "local" has an earlier version of ghostscript fonts, but the
4.2 computer does too.

OK, I'm following up my own post. Seems ghostscript-5.10-7 has an X bug
that won't let it display on 16 bit screens. Had to jimmy XF86Config and
restart X. -pat
