There are two:  Gnu Ghostscript V3.33 and Aladdin Ghostscript V5.03,
they are both the up-to-date, latest versions.

<ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/>
<ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/pub/ghost/aladdin/>

I prefer Aladdin Ghostscript be cause it seems to be a bit more up to
date with regards to the latest file formats, e.g. pdf is supported.

Configuring (Aladdin) ghostcript prior to compiling is not trivial,
you need to follow the instructions exactly, and make especially sure
you have got the font paths specified correctly.
