[tex-live] texlive under ubuntu cannot find proper .bb file for png image file

[Jin Huang]

Sorry to bother everyone.

I have solved the problem by the following steps:

1. Add: \DeclareGraphicsRule{.png}{eps}{.bb}{`convert #1 eps:-}%      PNG

2. Start xdvi with option -allowshell.

Sorry and thank you all.

Best regards,

Jin
