The most common reason for this is that these other two prerequisites do not exist and make doesn't know how to remake them. If that's true then make will ignore this pattern rule since it cannot match, and look for another one. However, the debug output you showed seems to me to be _heavily_ edited so I can't determine if that's actually true or not. Does make's debug output say anything about trying to create those two .eps files? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
