[pstricks] Problems with Pdflatex, pstricks and animate

[A. Erhardt]

Hello, pstrickers,

I would like to include an animated graphics into my text.

I was testing  one of the examples from the animate.pdf manual (attached for convenience), which involves pstricks,
since most of my sketches are done with pstricks.

According to the animated package manual (animated.pdf) I should be able to compile my file
with PDFLatex into a pdf file, but I am having problems with it.
Below please find 
1. my sample program 
2. the relevant lines from the error message in the log file

The complete log file is also attached to this email if needed.
I am working with MikTex 2.7 (downloaded and installed last week, so I should have the latest of everything)
I have Miktex on 'Automatic download and install packages' setting, so Miktex should install what it needs.

Thank you very much in advance for any help. 

Angelika
