You mean setting $PATH? I think this can be mentioned in the
installation instructions. But users should rather set the permanent,
system-wide variable than doing this temporarily in the shell used for
the installation. In the end, many of the programs in $PATH are
supposed to be found after the installation as well. And many may not
have variables associated with them which hold the path to the
executable.
Here Ghostscript hasn't set up $path. E.g. the command line tool epstopdf
for converting eps files to pdf who uses gswin32c.exe is nevertheless working.
And thank you very much, Ralf, for your great help!
Best regards
