Ghostscript
 

I am trying to install AFPL Ghostscript 7.0 mainly to convert PS into PDF, I used the (RH7.1)KDE version of RPM without apparent success. Here are my questions:
1) The RPM install may be working, but the old version of GS is all I can find. GView installs OK but cannot seem to find GS.
2) Should I try a fresh compile to gain the latest print drivers rather than use the RPM version? (I have a Compaq IJ300)
3) Version 7.0 has been reported to contain a few Linux bugs, should I use an older version?

Thanks for being patient, Bill
