This wont give you the right colours. You need something that
understands colour management.

You will need Little CMS (excellent colour management library) and some
colour profiles. Google for adobe icc profiles to get some standard ones
from adobe.

Although, you with some stuffing around, you might be able to use
gs7.07, I *highly* recommend you use gs8.50, unfortunately not available
yet as a deb, so you will need to grab source.

gs8.50 has a tiff32nc device that will give you a CMYK tiff from your
eps, e.g:

        gs -sDEVICE=tiff32nc -sOutputFile=cmyk_image.tif cmyk.eps

Add other options to gs as you need.

Now you need to create an RGB image of your tiff, using tifficc:

        tifficc -i /path/to/cmyk_profile \
                -o /path/to/rgb_profile \
                cmyk_image.tif rgb_image.tif

now convert your rgb tif to a jpg, using whatever app you like.

cheers
