Summary: In pdfLaTeX Turkish babel won't work with graphicx package
Initial Comment:
I use Turkish bible in MiKTeX 2.4. When I use graphics
or graphicx package and pdfLaTeX my document it crashes
with about 30 errors. There is no difficulty in
LaTeXing the same document and processing DVI instead
of PDF. Here is the piece of minimal LaTeX code that
crashes:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[turkish]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

Hello,
Turkish.ldf makes '=' active that will break many packages.
Graphicx loads pdftex.def and pdftex.def loads supp-pdf.tex
delayed (\AtBeginDocument) that loads supp-mis.tex that
relies on '=' with catcode 12 instead of an active one.
Babel makes '=' active \AtBeginDocument. Because babel
is loaded first, '=' is made active before supp-mis.tex
is loaded.
Solutions:
* Other order of packages:
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[turkish]{babel}
* Fixing the catcode for stuff that is loaded
\AtBeginDocument between babel and document start:
\usepackage[turkish]{babel}
\AtBeginDocument{\shorthandoff{=}}% right after babel
\usepackage{graphicx}
...
\AtBeginDocument{\shorthandon{=}}%
% right before \begin{document}
\begin{document}
* Also I have updated pdftex.def to 0.03o in order to
catch some catcode problems.
The bug is related to the choice of '=' as shorthand
character in turkish.ldf. It is definitly no matter of
pdfTeX, thus the bug can be closed here.
Yours sincerely
Heiko
