Have just installed latest version of Texlive and TeXworks (0.6.5). A
problems has shown up with TeXworks.
I tried to typeset the file called test1.latex with TeXworks:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\begin{document}
\epsfig{file=epsfile.eps,width=6.0in}
\end{document}
My intent was to have Texworks automatically convert the eps file to a pdf file.
However, Texworks fails and returns the error message
(/usr/local/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latexconfig/epstopdf-sys.cfg))
sh: repstopdf: command not foundsystem returned with code 32512
And then a second message that
File `epsfile-eps-converted-to.pdf' not found
Texworks works as expected for everything else I have tried.
Additional info:
TeXworks is set to use
pdfLaTeX
with paths set to
/Library/TeX/texbin
/usr/lcal/texlive/2020/bin/x86-darwin
The following command line _does_ work as expected.
pdflatex test1.latex
and does create the file epsfile-eps-converted-to.pdf
(and yes, restricted \write18 enabled).
The following command line also _does_ work as expected
epstopdf epsfile.eps epsfile-eps-converted-to.pdf
These two commands show that TeX was installed correctly and
that my shell paths are correct.
The command line command “epstopdf" is, of course, a work-around.
But this is not how TeXworks is supposed to work.
