That's odd. On my system Octave has no problems with that. But I added the
path to Ghostscript in the Windows PATH.

A better solution would be to invoke Octave through a batch file (to be put
in <OCTAVE_HOME>/bin) along the lines of:

============ cut here ======================
@echo off
Rem   Find Octave's install directory through cmd32.exe variables.
Rem   This trick finds the location where the batch file resides.
Rem   Note: the result ends with a backslash
set OCT_HOME=%~dp0

Rem   Set up PATH. Make sure the Octave-version-specific subdir
Rem   comes first. Use system environment variables for the
Rem   Windows system dirs.
Rem   Ghostscript is still an issue, I've left my setup for it
Rem   in the line below:
set 
PATH=%OCT_HOME%;%windir%\system32;%windir%;%windir%\system32\wbem;C:\Programs\gs\gs9.10\bin

Rem   Start Octave (this detaches octave-gui and immediately
Rem   returns):
start octave-gui.exe %*

Rem   Close the batch file's cmd32.exe window
exit
====================cut here=======================

....as that also cleans up most of the cruft in Windows PATH (put there by
badly-written programs) that may interfere with Octave's execution.
