That's because you've already got ghostscript installed on your Linux
distro, right?
I've tried this on WinXP, and GIMP gave a ghostscript error:
Error starting ghostscript ...

I've googled around and found this, Plug-ins for The GIMP:

To read PostScript or PDF files with GIMP, ghostscript must be
installed. On Linux systems this is usually installed. For Windows you
may have to install ghostscript by yourself.
