Bug Description

Binary package hint: texlive-base

texlive-xetex 2009-7

Xfig can export a combined ps figure with two parts: a .pstex and a .pstex_t
The .pstex file is actually a EPS file:
last_step.pstex: PostScript document text conforming DSC level 2.0, type EPS

But xelatex gives an error:
ERROR: Unable to load picture or PDF file 'Figures/machine.pstex'.

Then I changed the default postfix from .pstex to .ps or .eps, and it compiles without error.

So the problem is that xelatex does not recognize .pstex figures, even after I added a line in my tex file:
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps,.ps,.eps.gz,.ps.gz,.eps.Z,.EPS,.pdf,.PDF,.pstex}

By the way, latex can compile correctly.

I don't expect that this is a bug in Ubuntu. I installed the latest MikTeX on Windows XP and I have the same problem with XeLaTeX, with and without a similar /DeclareGraphicsExtensions. latex also compiles fine on windows.

I believe it must be due to a wrong combination of packages. I have the same problem now with a document I'm writing (MiKTeX 2.9 on Windows 7), but when I open an old file I have that uses a .pstex figure, it compiles normally. The old file is \documentclass{article}, but for the new one I'm using llncs from Springer. Don't know if that's the difference, though.
