you're probably fooling pdflatex into thinking it's latex simple, by
saying

  \usepackage[dvips]{graphics}

try

  \usepackage{graphics}

pure and simple, and if that doesn't work, try

  \usepackage[pdftex]{graphics}

may not work, but try before asking again.

this is true.  however, pdtex is one of the few that does, and re
is obviously using it.
