What were you trying to do?
	View a dvi file with postscript embedded in it.

What's wrong:
	It said:
gs: Execvp of gs failed.
Broken Pipe
	I added gnu and it worked fine.


What should have happened:
	It should have either found a copy of gs and rendered the
	postscript, or not found gs and left the postscript part out
	like 8.3 did.

Here is tex source that causes the problem:
	\input epsf
	\epsfbox{institute.eps}
	\end
