Well, seems like I didn't get your question too. I read your original
message two more times to get an idea. I'm not very familar with
Unix/Linux, so probably I will not be able to help. But I will try:

The IDL command
spawn, 'gv m4_r_600_test_flag0_individual_outliers.eps'
obviously failed, because the bash shell does not find the command
"gv". IDL does not know in which folder gv resides. IDL simply sends
the spawn command to the shell. If you know the path of the file gv,
add it to the spawn command:
spawn, 'path/gv m4_r_600_test_flag0_individual_outliers.eps'
and everything should be fine.

If there is any reason, not to specify the path, you can try xdg-open.
It may or may not work:

spawn,['xdg-open','m4_r_600_test_flag0_individual_outliers.e ps'],/noshell
This worked for me in case of an .ods file, when I exported an IDL
program from Windows to Linux.

Cheers, Heinz
