db2pdf chokes: LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps

[Bill Brooks]

Hi all,

If I have the following fragment in a document:

<figure>
   <title>Picture's Title</title>
   <graphic fileref="images/foo"></graphic>
</figure>

...where I have a  file named foo.eps in the images subdirectory that is
an encapsulated postscript file, I always get the following error message
when I attempt to make a .pdf file with db2pdf:

(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/psnfss/ts1ptm.fd) [3.0.25] [4.0.25] [5.0.25]
[6.0.25] [7.0.25] [8.0.25]

! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps.

I'm using the sourceware docbook rpm's:

astyle-1.11.4-1.i386.rpm   libxml-devel-1.8.7-1.i386.rpm
docbook-3.1-5.i386.rpm     jade-1.2.1-4.i386.rpm
psgml-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm     jadetex-2.19-0.i386.rpm
sgml-common-0.1-3.i386.rpm stylesheets-0.10-2.i386.rpm
jadetex-2.7-0.i386.rpm
libxml-1.8.7-1.i386.rpm

Can anyone help me? I haven't got a clue where to start trying to fix
this, but since the <figure> syntax is documented on the linuxdoc HOWTO I
kinda counted on it working. 

Bill

My current trick (there is no golden way through)
is to include 

<!ENTITY % magic-entities SYSTEM "magic.sgml">
  %magic-entities;  

-------------

magic.sgml I will either make as 
<!ENTITY magic "png">  <---- for making html or pdf

or

<!ENTITY magic "ps">   <----- for making ps-docs

--------------

When I include pictures then I use this

<FIGURE ID="xterm-fig" FLOAT="1">
<TITLE>This is the xterm</TITLE>
<GRAPHIC FILEREF="../images/xterm.&magic;"  SCALE="60"></GRAPHIC>
</FIGURE>

Then I can compile whatever outputformat I want - and I
use ImageMagic to convert png -> eps.

Hmm.... here's a fragment from one of my documents for what you're doing with
the <graphic> tag:

<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="tserv_overview.eps">
        </imageobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="tserv_overview.png">
        </imageobject>
<textobject>
<para>[Image of tape server overview SHOULD be here]</para>
        </textobject>
      </mediaobject> 

At least w/ the version of the docbook tools that comes with Red Hat 6.2, the
appropriate back end chooses the appropriate graphic format. 

Note, though, that I'm no expert in DocBOOK  or docbook-tools by any means,
and I have no idea whether that's the way it should work or not! (For one
thing, I'm still getting @#$%@ -999 as the page number in half the entries in
my index, sigh).
