this does not directly answer your question, but provides an alternate
solution.
you can use adobe's acroread to perform the same function.
apt-get install acroread
then create a script to make it work like pdf2ps:
--- cut --- pdf2ps.sh ---
#!/bin/sh
# script to use adobe's acroread to convert pdf documents to postscript.
# see the advanced bash scripting howto: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/
if [ ! -n "$1" ]
then
echo "Usage: `basename $0` file1.pdf file2.pdf..."
exit 1
fi
acroread -toPostScript $@
--- cut ---
