OK, I just tried reinstalling Scribus in the proper directory, and this time it seemed to work perfectly. No error messages, and I didn't even have to set the path manually. Now I'm completely mystified as to what went wrong the first time around. <br>
<br>By the way, my path to gs is the following: C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.05\bin\gswin64c.exe<br><br>Thanks, all!<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 27 August 2012 14:53, John Beardmore <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:John@t4sltd.co.uk" target="_blank">John@t4sltd.co.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

from the theoretical point of view, installing them in the same<br>
directory is a bad idea, could mess things up and should not really<br>
help...<br>
<br>
really, you just have to make sure that scribus calls the correct .exe<br>
file (or the binary file on mac) by fixing the path in the scribus<br>
preferences.<br>

The trouble is, when I tried to do things properly (i.e. putting Gs64bit in<br>
the 64bit folder and Scribus in the 32bit folder, and setting the path to<br>
Gs in Scribus preferences), this error message kept popping up saying<br>
something about Gs not being in its proper place (I'm afraid I don't<br>
remember the exact message, it was months ago. Probably should have<br>
reported it at the time...).<br>
<br>
When I tried putting them both in the same folder, it worked fine. It's<br>
probably a messy solution, but it did work. Anyway, I'm interested to hear<br>
if anyone has actually got the thing to work as it should with the programs<br>
in different folders,<br>

and would like to know how they did it. Always best<br>
to have everything neat and tidy :-)<br>

I think I just used the Change button to select the path to<br>
<br>
C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.04\bin\gswin64c.<u></u>exe<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what the difference is between gswin64c.exe and gswin64.exe but gswin64c.exe seems to be the one that should be used.<div class="im HOEnZb"><br>
