Probably because it doesn't use your GUI.

The goal here is to open that ps file in gs and view it, to see whether the problem lies in gs or elsewhere.

Main issue is why I'm getting the error I posted at the beginning of this thread while using ps2pdf. I'm I missing any initialization files as described in the error. How can I figure that out.

Any help is appreciated

ps2pdf is a wrapper around gs. As Corona688 says we are trying to establish where the fault lies - with gs itself or the wrapper. So how are you connecting to the Unix system? I just assumed you were logging onto the console and using the X server. Are you telnetting in from a Windows machine? Are you using an SSH client such as PuTTY?
