pdflatex reads .eps files saved in OS/X, but not in Ubuntu
- by David B Borenstein
Sorry if this is a stupid question; I'm a newbie.
I am preparing a manuscript in LaTeX. The journal (Physical Biology, an IOP publication) requires that figures be saved in .eps format, so I am trying to do that. However, I cannot get my LaTeX file to build when I have generated the .eps files on my Ubuntu computer. If I save the images on my Mac, the file build just fine.
So far, I have tried saving images in ImageJ, FIJI and Inkscape. The same problem occurs in all three. When using kile, I get the following error:
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/oberdiek/epstopdf-base.sty:0: Shell
escape feature is not enabled.
In TexWorks, the error is different, but still there:
Package pdftex.def Error: File
`./figures4/figure4a-eps-converted-to.pdf' not found.
Now, if I fire up Inkscape, FIJI or ImageJ on OS/X, everything works fine. The Mac also can't build with the Ubuntu-saved images.
The images generated on the Ubuntu machine open fine using Document Viewer. I am building the same LaTeX file on both computers, with the exact same results. The header of my LaTeX file is:
\documentclass[12pt]{iopart}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{parskip}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{iopams}
And then the code for the figure is:
\begin{figure}
\center{\includegraphics[width=4in]
{./figures4/figure4a.eps}}
\footnotesize{\caption{ \label{fig:4a} (4a) lorem ipsum dolor sic amet.}}
\end{figure}
I'd be happy to send an example of both .eps files. Again, sorry if this is a dumb question. I tried everything I could think of before posting here.
Thanks,
David
