try this way:
gs -dEPSCrop -c "<</Orientation 1>> setpagedevice" -f input.eps -c quit P.S this code snippet come from this post in the rhinocerus forum.

- 2@simona, "-c" executes a postscript command. The last "-c" option in the example executes "quit" command and ends the postscript elaboration. If you omit it, you'll obtain a ghostscript prompt waiting for a command.andcoz– andcoz2013-01-11 21:49:17 +00:00Commented Jan 11, 2013 at 21:49
A bit more modern Ghostscript
Newer Ghostscript versions come with the much improved eps2write device.
gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=eps2write \ -sOutputFile=output.eps \ -c "<</Orientation 3>> setpagedevice" \ -f input.eps The -dSAFER option keeps thing safe, prohibiting the input Ghostscript from performing arbitrary file read/write operations.
