Sorry if this is a bit outdated, but this bug still seems to exist.
In figinset.C there seems to be a problem with execlp if one uses
ghostscript 6.51 +
The gs process starts but never exits. Why I don't know. One can go
into /proc and see the commandline arguments, but this doesn't explain
where it hangs. If you're curious I could try to strace gs. But for now
I'll just report the workaround.
If using ghostscript 5.50 it always works fine.
On my system lyx 1.1.6-fix3 works with Ghostscript 6.51 when setting
\ps_command to "/usr/bin/gs "
in lyxrc.defaults or equivalent
It's the first argument to execlp which must end with a space (works
also when setting the first string to " ")

Ps: the xhost trick didn't do it for me and I'm not on the lyx list.
