I have no idea what you call a "user variable" here.

Yes.

That your Ghostscript internal search path finds its files in a tree
from a Ghostscript 7.07 installation.

versions of Ghostscript.

I'd start with deinstalling Ghostscript 7.07, and then trying to get
your 8.53 version of Ghostscript working.
