Version: 1.0-10
Severity: normal
Section 4.1 of "The Not So Short Introduction to LATEX 2e" guide gives
a three step instruction for including an encapsulated postscript file in a
latex document.
Following the instructions gives the error:
! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps.
Chris Maxwell (maxwell@cs.dal.ca) and Jeff Allen (allen@cs.dal.ca) pointed
out to me this alternate method for including eps graphics:
1. Export the picture from you graphics program in EPS format.
2. Load the psfig package in the preamble
\usepackage{psfig}
3. Use the command
\psfig{file}
For example:
\begin{figure}
\centerline{\psfig{figure=test.eps}}
\end{figure}
These different steps work for me, your mileage may vary of course, but I
thought I would point it out as it's been frustrating me for days... If
indeed this is a problem in the upstream documentation, I would be somewhat
willing to help the doc maintainers to modify this one section to better
reflect the actual way of including images in a document.

We got the following from the reporter and it is not
a bug. In fact, the statements of lshort.dvi on graphicx
are correct.
