Ahh. I think I see your problem. Some OS's, such as SunOS, discard
LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running programs as root to avoid potential
security holes. Re-compile your ghostscript following these notes,
with whichever version of ghostscript you would like to use, and
whichever X-libraries and X-includes your system supports.

   Get
	   ghostscript-5.10.tar.gz
	   ghostscript-5.10gnu.tar.gz
	   ghostscript-5.10jpeg.tar.gz
	   ghostscript-5.10libpng.tar.gz
	   ghostscript-5.10zlib.tar.gz
	   ghostscript-fonts-other-5.10.tar.gz
	   ghostscript-fonts-std-5.10.tar.gz

   from ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/aladdin/

   Extract the jpegsrc, libpng, and zlib source, and make symbolic links for
   libpng and zlib to the specific version directories.  Install the fonts at
   /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts.

   Tweak the ugcclib.mak, cc-head.mak, gcc-head.mak, and ansihead.mak to use
   /usr/openwin/include and /usr/openwin/lib for the XINCLUDE and XLIB
   directories. Add a "-s" flag to the INSTALL_PROGRAM flag. Then symbolically
   link the modified makefile, run tar_cat, and last compile and install the
   source.

   Consider eliminating all X11R6 references from your configuration temporarily
   to get the right compilation libraries.
