Under what operating system? And did you overlay it on top of a standard 
ghostscript installation already there, or what? 

Sorry,

it was over suse 9.0.

Before it was ghostscript 7.07, but I removed this using rpm -e. I thought 
in this way it would be cleaned, although I don't remember if I removed all 
the packages, maybe the font packages are already there.

SuSE 9.0 needs a bulltet through it. My experience is that it was 
ghods-awful. If you need a 9.x release, upgrade immediately to SuSE 9.3. 
Also, I wouldn't bother with the "Professional" releases of SuSE unless you 
need their tech support. The OpenSuSE releases don't have the licensed 
software problems, and you can easily download more recent and more workable 
tools for those licensed software's such as MPEG players, DVD players, and 
database tools from the Packman website.

But setting that aside, SuSE also tends to insist on widdling in the broth 
of other people's software: their configurations are often seriously 
distorted, even mangled, from the original authors' layouts and 
configuration tools to fit them badly into YaST and the SuSE models of how 
the software should be grouped. The result is fundamental incompatibilities 
with un-SuSE patched versions of software, such as BIND, DHCP, Sendmail, and 
Xorg. I'd be unsurprised of Ghostscript also has such incompatibilities.

So if you need a SuSE updated version of Ghostscript, take a look at the 
SRPM's for SuSE 9.3 or 10.0 and try recompiling those to get your update. 
That avoids conflicts between hand-installed libraries or fonts interfering 
with RPM installed ones, and satisfies dependencies for other RPM's that 
require ghostscript.

I had 9.1 installed on a machine once.  

That seemed like a very long 5 minutes.
