I am having problems getting ghostscript to work on Fedora F2.

ghostscript-7.07-25
ghostscript-fonts-5.50-11

was installed per the iso images for Fedora F2.

I read that on the Fedora web pages that 7.07-25 had a bug in it,
so I upgraded ghostscript to ghostscript-7.07-32

The program still does not work.

If I use the options as suggested with gs, there is still failure

"showpage" does exist in the *.ps file.

What am I missing?

Thanks.
