I was indeed using GS 7. I removed it using i-install. However, when I try
to install GS 6, for a bunch of files I am getting the following error:

/Applications/Utilities/i-Installer.app/Contents/Resources/gnutar:
share/ghostscript/fonts/s050000l.pfb: Could not create file: Permission
denied

The result output is the same.

Thanks for your help.
