The above has to be:
gs -sDEVICE=x11 file.ps
gs -sDEVICE=x11 file.pdf
or -sDEVICE=x11alpha instead of x11.

thank you Akira;
working fine,
export GS_DEVICE=x11 makes it the default
I am a newbie on fedora;
many years running redhat8, i was used to running
gs file.ps
and it all just worked;
I now see that under rh8 the default device is 'x11'
whereas under fc5 the default device is 'display', which i had thot would
work
but evidently not, gs requires the x11
