latex searches eps via TEXINPUTS, and AFAIR also dvips. So it finds what you find with TEXINPUTS: > dvips cannot be used to compile dvi files which are in a different than Yes, but the TEXINPUTS path must be fixed. > 5. convert dvi file to ps > dvips directory/test.dvi Not surprising. In the respective \special which is saved into the dvi file there is nothing about the directory: $ strings test.dvi TeX output 2007.11.15:1302 :PSfile="test.eps" llx=100 lly=100 urx=150 ury=150 rhi=566 cmr10 cmr10 $ A simple solution is to call $ TEXINPUT=directory/: dvips directory/test.tex > 6. observe the error message > dvips: Could not find figure file test.eps; continuing. Yes it says what it is ... Simple solution: Set your TEXINPUTS right. PLease can someone close this bug?
