The 'latex' compiler can handle eps images only. The 'pdflatex' compiler can handle 'pdf' and 'png' format images. You can wrap bitmap images in an eps file using: $ convert PNG:your_file.png EPS3:your_file.eps (Generates Adobe Level III Encapsulated PostScript file or about the same size as the original bitmap file.) See man ImageMagick -- Angus
