Hi,

From my understanding, that error arises when you use latex rather than pdflatex to compile your document. Compiling with just latex doesn’t allow the use of non-.eps image files. If you want to compile with latex see Trystram David’s reply to you above. The easier option would be just to compile with pdflatex which does take almost any image file type.

Cheers,
Vel

While compiling with eps
is sometimes little tricky, I can recommend very simple solution:
convert from eps to pdf with single command (available on every
linux) eps2pdf.
Using graphics in “pdf
mode” never made me any problem (usually with pdflatex).
