Oh, I see -  sorry, it seems I misinterpreted your question. Using  
pdf graphics doesn't work with ordinary LaTeX, it only works when  
using pdflatex for typesetting, you can do this with the command  
"pdflatex <file.tex>" in the "Tools"-Menu of OzTeX. This will  
directly create a pdf output file instead of a dvi.
However, I assume you must have teTeX installed for that to work,  
then configure OzTeX to use teTeX's search paths. teTeX is the  
standard TeX implementation on Unix systems, the i-installer by  
Gerben Wierda makes installing it really easy; see http://www.rna.nl/ 
tex.html .

Hope that helps,

	Bernhard
