<FONT FACE=monospace>gs</font> is (usually) the Ghostscript program.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ghostscript is a program that operates on Postscript files.&nbsp;&nbsp;Somewhere in the perl script will be a line using either the <FONT FACE=monospace>system</font> function or backtics (`) to call the <FONT FACE=monospace>gs</font> program.<br><br>It looks like the <FONT FACE=monospace>gs</font> program isn't installed on your system, and the shell is telling you about it.&nbsp;&nbsp; <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>--<br>
