Thanks for sending the requested message texts.
You can see the problem right away!

   ^^--------------------  Ghostscript  should be here !!


For example, at one of my sites, I get:

landau.ics.mq.edu.au> gs -version
AFPL Ghostscript 7.00 (2001-04-08)

The name does occur 2 lines later.
LaTeX2HTML's installation script doesn't look for it there.

Since you are using a quite old version (6.01, dated 2000) of Ghostscript,
why not look to upgrading it, then reinstall LaTeX2HTML.

I think your direct customisation of the variables that LaTeX2HTML uses
is about as good as you can do, unless you update Ghostscript.

There is little point in my adjusting the install script,
unless others report a similar problem.
(So if others are seeing this kind of error, please report it.)


Hope this helps,
