It's still complaining even after I did what you asked. I then went  
to external tools in Scribus (which you did not
specify to look in Scribus, so I was looking all around my  
Preferences files). But I went back to scribus, and using the
"change" button, I went pointed to this path:

/Library/Frameworks/ghostscript.framework/configure

Ghostscript doesn't complain now, but did I point it correctly?
