Will have to try that. The docs point to an address which has only rpms

Just downloaded the binary from the ghostgum site. It runs and gives the
error message. So, I compiled the source and ran the program with the
same problem. Personally I feel that the program should not have
compiled if it could not find libgs.so. 

But the doc clearly says that the *nix port of gsview is written by a
newbie and the usual disclaimers apply, blah, blah. :-(

If you have any luck, let us know.

Style may not be the answer, but at least it's a workable alternative.
