I can directly preview .dvi files displaying the postscript figures.
I have solved in this way:
cd /bin
mv gs.exe gs.exe.orig
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/gs.exe gs.exe
Cygwin,
Why there are these two version, X and non-X of ghostscript?
Once, someone said that only the X is sufficient.
If this is the case, we could install only the X version and change
'ghostscript' with 'ghostscript-x11' in the field 'requires' of
setup.ini to adapt the dependences... or NOT ?
As I recall, the reason for have a no-X version was so that people don't
have to install X to use ghostscript.
