There's nothing magic about this. You just need to define a converter
eps-pdf. The preferences dialog should make this trivially easy.
The converter is already defined.. it's epstopdf..
You could use Imagemagick's convert, Sebastian Rahtz's epstopdf or
even gs itself. Your call ;-)
Well, there

You could try running your figure through GhostScript's epstoeps
utility. This will ensure that the eps file is well formed.
Tried this but I still get an error while using epstopdf..
pdflatex looks for the pdf file in the current directory. To be

I see..
eps to jpg makes only sense for _real_ pictures, but not for

you can try to install VTeX/Free, which is very easy
I believe they don't have a version for powerpc yet.. :-(

_bad_ maybe the wrong word here. If you have a vector graphic file
then convert creates a bitmap from the vector source.
So convert should be the last choice.

Because it generates a bitmap file from your nice vector graphics one.
Prefer to generate a pdf file from eps (using epstopdf) because this
will retain the vector graphics nature of the file, meaning that it
will scale
