 |
|
Texlive has been updated sometime ago.
I tried to recompile a old file again today, but found that failed to insert eps file.
In my TEX file:
| Code: | ....
\includegraphics[width=10cm]{method}
.... |
[/code]
'WARNING' messages:
| Code: | ** WARNING ** No image converter available for converting file "./method.eps" to PDF format.
** WARNING ** >> Please check if you have 'D' option in config file.
** WARNING ** pdf: image inclusion failed for "method.eps".
** WARNING ** Failed to read image file: method.eps
** WARNING ** Interpreting special command PSfile (ps:) failed.

You're in luck; converting EPS to PDF is easy using the 'epstopdf' script, which is part of dev-texlive/texlive-fontutils. Just make sure that is emerged, do
| Code: | | ~ $ epstopdf <EPS file> |
for all your EPS files, and then leave the \includegraphics specifications as they are, making sure that the file names are given without extensions. Then latex, and voila. |

"dev-texlive/texlive-fontutils" has been emerged, and "epstopdf" also works well.
But it still can not inculde "eps" file directly when using 'xelatex'.
Before updated, "eps" file could be include directly, but also xelatex the old tex files, "warning" information always show when meet eps
| Code: |

The problem has solved.
| Code: |
#emerge -av dvipdfmx
#cd /usr/share/texmf-dist/
#mkdir -p dvipdfmx && cd dvipdfmx
#ln -s /etc/texmf/dvipdfm/dvipdfmx.cfg
#texhash
|
If I copy "/etc/texmf/dvipdfm/dvipdfmx.cfg" to "/usr/shaded/texmf-dist/dvipdfmx/", and unmerge "dvipdfmx", it also works well. |

Congratulations on solving the problem.
For similar snags in the future, though, let me restate my suggestion, which you appear not to have understood correctly:
LaTex works well with PDF, and less well with (Enhanced-) PostScript graphics. The epstopdf script lets you convert EPS graphics to PDF, which you can then use in your LaTex document with generally very good results. This is what I recommended. |

Just to clarify: Actually, LaTeX is unable to deal with PDF. As far as good ol' LaTeX is concerned, the way to include external images is to use Encapsulated PostScript, which gets included in the document when converting the DVI output to PostScript. So LaTeX actually works well with EPS, and does not work with PDF.
pdfLaTeX uses a different driver so that it is able to include PDF, but it is unable to include EPS.
Now, this is XeTeX, which, I am told, breaks this old barrier, making it possible to include both EPS and PDF in the document. I guess it does, as far as that package is installed. |
