Compare the output of these commands on the two machines:

gs -v

both show

 $ gs -v
GPL Ghostscript 8.62 (2008-02-29)
Copyright (C) 2008 Artifex Software, Inc.  All rights reserved.

dpkg -S bin/ps2pdf

both show

 $ dpkg -S bin/ps2pdf
ghostscript: /usr/bin/ps2pdfwr
ghostscript: /usr/bin/ps2pdf12
ghostscript: /usr/bin/ps2pdf13
ghostscript: /usr/bin/ps2pdf14
ghostscript: /usr/bin/ps2pdf

I think somehow the gs package is corrupted in one of my machine.  I try removing it and reinstalling it again, it works fine now.  Thanks for the help!
