I'm having a bit of trouble trying to include .eps files in a LaTeX document compiled with pdfLaTeX. I've been told that I should use the epstopdf package to convert .eps files to .pdf on the fly.
This is my LaTeX code:
\documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} \usepackage{epstopdf} \begin{document} \includegraphics{thing.eps} \end{document} But when I try to compile it with pdflatex test.tex I get this error:
Package epstopdf Warning: Shell escape feature is not enabled. (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/latexconfig/epstopdf-sys.cfg))) (./test.aux ) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/supp-pdf.mkii [Loading MPS to PDF converter (version 2006.09.02).] ) ! Package pdftex.def Error: File `thing-eps-converted-to.pdf' not found. See the pdftex.def package documentation for explanation. Type H for immediate help. ... l.7 \includegraphics{thing.eps} ? I'm not sure what to do, I've also tried putting \epstopdfsetup and \epstopdfsetup{} after \usepackage{espstopdf} but that doesn't help.
