Yes, I was testing the GUB binary at lilypond.org.

I have just confirmed the problem on 64-bit GNU/Linux too.

The problem seems to be exactly what the error message reports:  there
is no file gs_init.ps located in the installation directory.

My system Ghostscript has this file:

/usr/share/ghostscript/8.64/Resource/Init/gs_init.ps

Certainly!  I'm sure not many people are testing on Windows 7 yet, so
this information would be helpful.
