[tex-live] dvipdfm fails to include .eps graphics file

[Lianqing Yu]

> 1.  does dvipdfm work if you use draft mode for graphics?> This shoudl give a pdf file with boxes outlining the places> where figures will appear.
Yes, dvipdfm works in draft mode.
> 2.  can you convert the EPS to pdf using "eps2pdf ..."?> I think dvipdfm uses much the same conversion, so if this> fails, I would not exect dvipdfm to work.
It's not "eps2pdf.exe", but "epstopdf.exe", which can convert an EPS to an PDF. I tried "epstopdf" using the "golfer.eps" and converted "golfer.pdf" looks right in Adobe Reader 7.0.
> 3.  what does "epstool --test-eps ..." give?> Many files that have .eps extensions do not meet the> definition of a .eps file, including some created using> "name-brand" software.   Most such files can be> converted to pdf and will work with pdflatex.
There is no "epstool.exe" under the TexLive 2003 install directory, so I can't do this test.

To save time, here is such an example:>   --------------------------------------------------------------------------> \documentclass{article}> \usepackage[dvipdfm]{graphicx}> \begin{document}> Example using \texttt{golfer.eps} from GhostScript.> \[> \includegraphics[width=8cm]{golfer.eps}> \]> \end{document}I tried your example and below is the output:

I opened "t-eps.dvi" in "windvi.exe" and it looks right. What's problem?
