Conversion from PS to PDF fails

Post by thedoctor818 »

A friend of mine is just getting started with LaTeX and is using MiKTeX on Windows and Texmaker as her editor. She has written a document and once she finished the quick document, she converted it to PS, but when she hit the button for conversion to PDF button, it gave her the following error: "could not start the command" Help, please.

She has to make sure that Ghostscript is installed [1]. It is need for the conversion from PS to PDF.

[1] Ghostscript, Ghostview and GSview
