I am getting this error while trying to install Ghostscript. Please
advice on what I need to do. What I want to do is to be able to convert
  postscript file to pdf. Here is the installation log:

VAXC>PRODUCT INSTALL GHOSTSCRIPT/DESTINATION=SYS$COMMON:[GHOSTSCRIPT]

The following product has been selected:
     FREEWARE VAXVMS GHOSTSCRIPT V8.11 Layered Product

Do you want to continue? [YES]

Configuration phase starting ...

You will be asked to choose options, if any, for each selected product
and for
any products that may be installed to satisfy software dependency
requirements.

FREEWARE VAXVMS GHOSTSCRIPT V8.11: Postscript interpreter for OpenVMS Alpha

     This package is freeware and comes with NO warranty, expressed or
implied.

     Be sure to read the full license conditions in [.GS.DOC]PUBLIC.

Do you want the defaults for all options? [YES]

     Did you specify a value for /DESTINATION?

     PCSI is designed to install software to the system disk and contains no
     provision for the software being installed to ask for any alternate
target
     location. The only mechanism currently available in PCSI is the
     /DESTINATION switch, which must be specfied as part of the PRODUCT
INSTALL
     command, and the default destination is SYS$COMMON.

     If you did not specify the /DESTINATION switch when you invoked this
     installation, it is recommended that you exit and re-issue the PRODUCT
     INSTALL command with a /DESTINATION specifying where you would like the
     [.GS...] directory tree to be installed (unless, of course, you
really do
     want it installed in SYS$COMMON).

     Do you want to continue? [YES]

Do you want to review the options? [NO]

Execution phase starting ...

The following product will be installed:
     FREEWARE VAXVMS GHOSTSCRIPT V8.11 Layered Product
