AFAIK pdflatex will only accept jpegs and pnp figures. The problem I think
is that eps is  basically just raw postscript, in fact yes, I've written
postscript code and had it incorporated in latex documents you just have
to hack the bounding box parameters and give the file an *.eps extension.
This is fine if you're generating postscript output, problem is the
pdf viewer can't understand native postscript, so *.eps files which are
just slotted into the output file can't be interpreted. You may be able
to transform your figures from eps to jpegs with gimp or somesuch.

If anyone knows another way round this problem I'd be interested to 
know.
