! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .fig.

Have you set XFIG_FILES = networking_scenario.fig in your makefile?

If not, that may be why.

Thank Alan,

I have changed my Makefile to:

%cat Makefile
XFIG_FILES = networking_scenario.fig
include LaTeX.mk

But unfortunately that gives same error message...

My very good friend Hugo (who knows lots more about latex than I) says:-

"He needs to run it through a preprocessor first"

"You run fig2dev on it twice, Once with -L ps, and once with -L pstex_t (I think)"

Oops, pressed " add answer " too soon, Hugo's still talking...

" That generates two files -- one that you can include directly (extension .pstex_t), and one .ps file that contains everything except the text."

Time passes...

" OK, the .pstex_t file is included directly with \input{filename.pstex_t} (Wrapped in a \begin{figure} block as appropriate) That will then set the text, and import the .ps file generated earlier. "

thank you so much but im using ubuntu 6.06 lts dapper drake.i'm a new person
in linux universe.and a little knowledge in computer didn't go at school.
thats why i'm digging a lot of thing at this place.thank you for support to
the person like me.

I wrote the last message too early:

includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{networking_scenario.fig}

is not working but I can use eps graphics in latex-make after adding the previously mentioned line "LU_FLAVORS=DVI DVIPDF" in Makefile.

Anyhow, now I can use latex-make for my purpose and the extra time spent on exporting %.fig -> %.eps is not too much that would further search for the original solution.

Cheers,

I finally solved the original probleml. Only figlatex was not being used which is essential for make-latex using .fig graphics.

Just add this in the preamble of .tex file:
\usepackage{figlatex}

Regards,

hi,

i had a similar error, here is the conclussion i got to:
when I compiled from latex -> pdf, i got the error msg that said "! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps" and my .eps diagrams did not appear. However, when I compiled latex -> ps -> pdf, all .eps diagrams were displayed correctly.
