Import .eps files in GIMP fail

Hey,

Today I am going to tell you how to overcome the problem of importing .eps files in GIMP software.
  • First, you have to have ghostscript (http://www.ghostscript.com/) installed in your system.
  • After that you have to set the environment variable GS_PROG set to the path of your ghostscript .exe location
    • to set the environment variable (Win7):
    • right click on My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced system settings -> Advanced tab -> Environment Variables
    • In system variables -> New
      • variable name : GS_PROG
      • variable value: e.g. E:\Program Files\gs\gs9.04\bin\gswin32.exe (insert the ghostscript path appropriately)
    • restart GIMP
