If you were using

\usepackage{epstopdf}

then, in the background, a script called epstopdf was used for the  
conversion. Bruno and me are talking about epspdf (note the missing  
"to" in that name).

If you want to use epspdf for the conversion and want on-the-fly  
conversion, there is a package epspdfconversion of which I am the  
author. But a prerequisite is that you can use epspdf from the command  
line. And for this you need to have .... Read http://tex.aanhet.net/epspdf/#prerequisites
Not having ghostscript installed is a problem....

If you send me (offlist) a small tex file and one of your eps-files, I  
can compile that, including conversion with epspdf (not epstopdf) and  
you can then check whether this helps.
