I concorde that this is a setup not a xdvi problem. I remember other posts
in the past, describing problems caused by this double installation of
GS.
I would ask if the following can be another methods to install
Ghostscript:
The ghostscript-x11 package should be only made of
gs-x11.exe
postinstall
preremove
The postinstall, if in /bin there is gs.exe (the no-x11 version), should
copy it in gs.exe.orig (or similar) and create the link gs.exe -->
/usr/X11R6/bin/gs-x11.exe.
The preremove, if in /bin gs.exe.orig exists then gs.exe --> gs.exe.orig.
Obviously this is only an approach.
If I remember correctly, in the past version of Ghostscript (before
8.15) there was a similar method to install GS (creating appropriate links
to the right version) and it was developped exactly to solve problems
flagged to the lists.
Cheers,
Angelo
