General ⇒ importing .jpg pictures

[quodlibet]

hello!

I'm trying to import a .jpg picture in LaTex.
This is what I'm doing:

I included \usepackage{graphicx} in the preamble, then

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=1.0]{PIC-NAME}
\label{fig:thesis-cover-pic}
\end{figure}

but LaTeX gives me the following error: `Cannot determine size of graphics in PIC-NAME.jpg (no BoundingBox).

I can't sort the problem out.
Can someone help me out with this, please?

Thank you very much!

Hi quodlibet,

to import jpg pictures pdflatex is necessary. Compile with pdflatex instead of latex, use the output profile LaTeX => PDF, not LaTeX => DVI or LaTeX => PS => PDF.
