Not quite sure why we're seeing this as a big problem, most don't have
an issue.
Go here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1897&package_id=108733
get the gs863w32.exe, run it to install ghostscript.
After you have installed Scribus, *then* find the .exe with the "c" in
it for the entry in File > Preferences > External Tools. Then restart
Scribus.
