latex

Sorry this is the first time I file a report.

What I want to say is that compile gs-test.tex 
using latex gs-test.tex

and then use 
xdvi gs-test.dvi

to view, one will find that the output does not show the eps file in the xdvi window.

So it has nothing to do with ghostscript-x11 or ghostscript-x? 
Thanks for comments.
