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.
