Adding Graphics -Error

Post by rafanz »

Hi,

Can anyone help?

I have experienced some problems when trying to add a .ps image into a document. A standard text file of the same document works just fine, but when I add in \usepackage{graphicx}, out comes the error listed below in the log file. I have tried to follow online tutorials to include graphics.

The manual states that .ps files are the standard for Latex (or should I be using .jpg for pdflatex/pdftex?)

Is the graphicx package already installed in latex, and if not how can I check which packages are installed?


This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
%&-line parsing enabled.
entering extended mode
(./test.tex
LaTeX2e <2005/12/01>

yphenation, loaded.
