"Ghostscript" is missing -> how to solve?

Postby hhtmp88 » Sat Apr 25, 2009 1:49 am

Dear all,

Everytime I run Scribus, I receive the following Warning message:
*******************************
The following programs are missing:
Ghostscript: you cannot use EPS images or PostScript Print Preview
*************************************************

How to solve this problem?
Thanks!

You should install Gostscript: http://www.ghostscript.com/ ;)

Not enough installing it!
GhostScript is needed to read and write vector objects, ie. PDF.
If Scribus will not find GhostScript (gs) you have to set the path to:
Preferences - External Tool - PostScript Interpreter - Name of Executable.
If you wanna much more better gaphics you'd better set Resolution to 300 dpi.
