    While this file can be found in /usr/lib/ghostscript/4.03/ and in

    Anyone have an idea of where it's looking for gs_init.ps???
    
Run `gs -h' and examine the "Search path" output, like:

gs_init.ps needs to be a readable file in one of those directories.
Perhaps your Ghostscript installation is bogus?
