as a footnot to the above, the easiest installation of the
ghostscript/ghostview package i could find is to get the gs binaries
out of disk b5 of the SLS distribution
(tsx:/pub/linux/SLS/b5/ghostscr.taz), the ghostview patch from
sunsite:/pub/Linux/Incoming/ghostview.patch and the regular ghostview
package and ghostscript fonts package from prep.ai.mit.edu, or
preferably somewhere else...
note that these last two are not necessary for all installations,
specifically, ghostscript alone with no fonts or even ghostview is
sufficient to print and preview (in X only, with a illegible but
usefull full page view) a dvi file. ghost view will offer more
flexible viewing of postscript, but is, again not necessary if you
only do dvi, as xdvi does a better job for this purpose.
