I think the difference is between the GNU and Alladin versions.  I think 
the Alladin versions use different directories than the GNU versions.  
Either that or the RedHat rpm is different from the Mandrake rpm as far 
as directories used.  To be safe, I downloaded both the Alladin 7.0 
ghostscript (newest) and the RedHat/GNU 6.51 ghostscript (newest of that 
category).  I'll query the rpms to see what directories they will use and 
install the newest that is compatible with my directory structure.


Thanks for continuing to help.
