The problem is a) with the graphics package of the latex distrib and
b) with older versions of dvips (like Grahams). If you redefine in
dvips.def the lines
\@namedef{Gin@[email protected]}#1{{eps}{.eps.bb}{`gunzip -c #1}}
\@namedef{Gin@[email protected]}#1{{eps}{.ps.bb}{`gunzip -c #1}}
\@namedef{Gin@[email protected]}#1{{eps}{.ps.bb}{`gunzip -c #1}}
\@namedef{Gin@[email protected]}#1{{eps}{.eps.bb}{`gunzip -c #1}}
to:
\@namedef{Gin@[email protected]}#1{{eps}{.eps.bb}{#1}}
\@namedef{Gin@[email protected]}#1{{eps}{.ps.bb}{#1}}
\@namedef{Gin@[email protected]}#1{{eps}{.ps.bb}{#1}}
\@namedef{Gin@[email protected]}#1{{eps}{.eps.bb}{#1}}
and add in
graphics.cfg
\ExecuteOptions{dvips}
dvips will to search for the file and uncompress after
searching -- instead of having gunzip to find the file.
Unfortunatly, this only works with newer versions of dvips.
