[pdftex] using includegraphics with pdflatex ...[pdflatex (file describeSL1.pdf): cannot open image file]

[Patrick Riley]

For some reason which I don't fully understand, \includegraphics with
pdftex uses the TEXPSHEADERS environment variable for the additional
paths to search. Try setting this appropriately. For example, I use:
setenv TEXPSHEADERS :${HOME}/tex//
