[texworks] \includegraphics prlem with xelatex on Mac Ox

[Kaushik Sinha]

Hi Guys,
I figured out the out the problem. It seems on-the-fly conversion of
EPS files to PDFs is not supported on TexLive 2009.  So if I open
the eps file save it as pdf and then include this pdf file to my latex
document using includegraphics then xelatex works fine on mac.

I have been told that on the fly conversion of EPS to PDF will be
supported in TexLive 2010.
Waiting to get that one :-)

I hope TeXworks isn't dynamically picking up some old poppler library left over from the early versions of TeXworks before it was statically linked.

Make sure to update the installation using TeX Live Utility (update that first) and using the repository used to get the MacTeX installer above.
