no! this was an answer to a mail of s.fleming on a mac, not to michael;

but also yes: s.fleming had a problem similar to yours, I guess: it  
seems that you are using pdflatex; what frontend are you using?  
texworks or texniccenter?

there are 2 ways to use pstricks:

1.) pdflatex together with the package auto-pst-pdf (read the  
documentation of the package!!!!!!)
2.) not pdflatex, but the workaround latex-dvips-ps2pdf and no extra  
package (except of course the pstricks package and its connected  
packages like pst-plot etc.); in this case you have got to change the  
default of your frontend (which is usually pdflatex);

how you can change the default of the frontend, depends of the  
frontend you are using;

hope this helps
