three errors in such a short snippet of code ...

\input{pst-text}
\newrgbcolor{red!40}{0.4 0 0}% internally defined with xcolor
\newrgbcolor{blue!40}{0 0 0.2}

\pspicture(10,10)
\psCircleText[fillcolor=blue!40, linecolor=red!40,
     fontsize=7mm,font=Helvetica](5,5){Al1 is Fun within the World}%
\endpspicture

\bye
