• For Windows: We have used GPL Ghostscript. Get the latest GPL version of Ghostscript for which you can find Microsoft Windows self-extracting packages, which are easy to install. TexPoint has been tested with many versions of Ghostscript up to and including GPL 8.61.For versions of TexPoint before 3.2 you also need to set the PATH: • Add gstools\gs8.61\bin (or the directory in which gswin32c.exe ended up) to the PATH. • Verify that you can run “gswin32c -version” in an MSDOS prompt window. • For Mac OSX: The Latex and ghostscript program are freely available via the Apple Web-Site. We recommend to use i-installer packages which guide you through the complete setup (the PATH is also set correctly). Another option – especially if you need more Unix Open Source software – is the FINK project. However, the paths to latex, dvips, and gs have to be defined in the bash-PATH variable!
