You can't always import into image frames directly. Hopefully what you 
can do is to import the EPS as vector: File > Import > EPS.
The reason I say hopefully is that there is EPS and there is EPS, only 
some of which Scribus can manage.

If this fails, use an external app to convert to large bitmap, then 
import into an image frame.

As far as ghostscript, go here:
http://www.scribus.net/?q=windows
and follow the link to get ghostscript from Sourceforge -- I don't know 
about this "c".
