The program in question is ghostscript (gs), not ghostview. xdvi just
needs a working version of it. I am quite sure, that if you run gs on
its own, that it will fail with the same error message.

So, it seems that your ghostscripts (again: not ghostview) is not
properly installed. It is linked against a shared library which is not
installed. This means that the program cannot run.
