The article inadvertently points out the biggest drawback to trying to use open source.
They reference Scribus, which sounds like something I’d like to play with. So I hit the Scribus page.
http://www.scribus.net/index.php?name=Sections&req=viewarticle&artid=2
It says first I need to download Ghostscript. They specify that you have to use gswin32c.exe, not gswin32.exe. I hit the link they provide. I bunch of releases of 32.exe, but no 32e.exe on the page.
Dead end.
Then I searched Sourceforge for the specified program. “
No results were found to match your current search criteria.”
Google it. Find a promising link to UWisc. Nope, just the 32.exe again, not the 32c.
Give up.

No problems here. Sounds like problems with your operating system to me. Perhaps you should upgrade to something with a less primitive software management system.
But rather than curse your dark Windows(TM), let me shed some light.
Try downloading gs850w32.exe
