GSview in apt-get?

Question

I am trying to search GSview in Linux, but I cannot find it by apt-cache search gsview.

How can you install gsview in Ubuntu 14.04?

@Zacharee1 Please, make your comment an answer. I think it is very good when it is not scaling automatically. I am going to test next it with different test signals. — Léo Léopold Hertz 준영, Mar 21 '16 at 15:59

There is no package called gsview, so you're not going to find it by searching that way. There is another package that serves the same function as GSView, called gv.

Install it by running sudo apt-get install gv.

I did sudo apt-get install gv and installed GSView 3.7.4 which is relatively old version. So what I managed to do is to install Ghostscrip 9.21 and GSView 5.0 on wine 64bit version and works perfectly well.

Confirm that `apt` has 3.7.4.1 version. Which are reasons you need the newer `gv`? - - Can you please give source which states that the `gv` is outdated in Linux in comparison to Windows? Maybe, we can send an email to the maintainer of Linux `gv` and ask for an update. – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 Apr 20 '17 at 03:57
