Thanks a lot to both of you. It finally works. The line I had to change was in miktex.ini. (I never had to bother about MikTeX specific issues till now and I didn't expect the problem to lie so deep in the system.) Thanks, Mojca Now I've found a couple of old posts with more or less the same problem on this and some other mailing lists, but I didn't know what to look for before. Would it make sense to add just a short hint for newbies somewhere at the beginning of the manual, warning that write18 has to be enabled in order to process some graphics properly?
