[OS X TeX] Different versions of epstopdf in mactex re rest of the world?

[Daniel Becker]

Peter, thanks a lot!

I have now a brandnew epstopdf on my mac. and could use it:

[ibook-daniel:~/Desktop/epstopdf] daniel% /Users/daniel/Desktop/ 
epstopdf/epstopdf test.eps
Converting test.eps to test.pdf .....  (177x101 mm) ... Done
[ibook-daniel:~/Desktop/epstopdf] daniel% /Users/daniel/Desktop/ 
epstopdf/epstopdf --gsopt=-dCompatibilityLevel=1.3 test.eps
Converting test.eps to test.pdf .....  (177x101 mm) ... Done
[ibook-daniel:~/Desktop/epstopdf] daniel%

for compilation, I had to replace "round(" with "roundv(" in the c- 
version of epstopdf which is maintained by Jürgen Bausa who also was  
very helpful. Once I have found out how to tell ghostscript (via  
epstopdf) that i need grayscale and no colours, I will write a step  
by step instruction for OS X users (how to get a better epstopdf and  
how to use \usepackage{epstopdf} with it)

--- if someone is interested....

Thanks again,

Daniel
