well, i know it may sound picky, but i prefert to fix this thread, 
before somebody picks it up from the archive and gets a wrong advice:

- ghostscript is not needed by scribus to create PDFs.

- you can work with scribus without having to install ghostscript.

- you only need ghostscript for some specific functions (print preview, 
...) or to include specific type of content (loading a PDF or an EPS 
into an image frame, ...)


so:

- it's correct that you probably can start working with scribus without 
installing ghostscript

- it's not correct that you need ghostscript to create PDFs

- it's correct that you need ghostscript to include some types of 
contents (into your documents or PDFs)

... and i hope that i got it right :-)
