Re: X11 error when using gv.

[James Merritt <jamesem_99 at yahoo dot com>]

Hi Dr. Volker,

Thank you for the helpful response.  I did check in
/usr/bin and sure enough, there was a gs.exe there so
I removed it.  There was also a gs.exe in
/usr/X11R6/bin and left that one alone.  Now ghostview
displays the pdf or postscript file with no problems

Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it.
