The problem seems to be that ghostscript-2.6 isn't quite 64 bit clean
yet. I sent some patches to Erik and those help a lot. However,
Aladdin ghostscript (3.something) appears to work better still.
Unfortunately, its copyright status is such that it disallows CD-ROM
distribution. But a set of precompiled binaries are available in:
ftp://ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp/misc/axpbin-ghostview.tar.gz
The tar file contains both ghostview and ghostscript. The files are
quite old already (Aug 95), but AFAIK, they should work fine. If you
try them, let me know how they work.
