Thanks, Paul. As I said before, the package ps4pdf works fine. In particular, that package is useful for me in the sense that I plan to use PSTricks in the same document and ps4pdf is the right package to produce pdf documents in connection with PSTricks. By curiosity, I ask: is LyX supposed (by default) to convert EPS pictures to usable formats before applying pdflatex? Perhaps, we are expecting too much from LyX. Paul
