What devices do you actually see when you do "gs --help" ?

As I said previously if the X11 devices (there should be 9 or 10) are 
not listed then the binary has been created without X11 support. There 
may be a reason why the packager has dropped X, perhaps Debian has 
deprecated it for instance.

The display device won't work without the x11 device, it will do nothing 
(as you;ve discovered).

If you want a gtk+ build then yes, you need to compile Ghostscript 
differently to get that (and then the display device will use it rather 
than X). You can either build from source or ask your package maintainer 
if it is available for your distro.

If your package includes neither X nor gtk+ well I don't think you can 
use Ghostscript as a viewer.
