First you must install X (source available from expo.lcs.mit.edu).  Then
snarf ghostscript from prep.ai.mit.edu.  If you complain "but I want to
use SunView!" too bad.  SunView is supposed to become obsolete when Sun
gets XView working.  It is a nearly-sunview-compatible system that runs
under X, so you might as well start migrating to X now.  I think you can
run X from within SunView, and return to X when you are done, but I am not
sure.  Please let me know if you have any problems.  I think XView is
available from expo, but I was unable to get it working.  It is only an
alpha-test version, and a working version is supposed to be available
later this year.  I have no experience with Ghostscript, but I hope to in
the near future.  -David-
