[Tex/LaTex] EPS ‘file not found’

epsrevtex

I'm using the MiKTeX distribution with TeXStudio IDE. Here is a MWE:

\documentclass[reprint,aps,prl]{revtex4-1}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}

\title{Nice Title}
\maketitle
Hello world.
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics{myEPSfile}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

If I use LaTeX, then I get the TeX capacity exceeded error. If I use LuaLaTeX, then I get a file not found error. If I include the eps extension then I get unknown graphics extension error. You can download my eps file from here, if interested.

Note: Using pdfLaTeX with epstopdf package works, but the publisher do not want that route.

It turns out the problem really is in the eps files. I was using Igor Pro, a data analysis software, to produce the files. Its manual states the following:

Some poorly written applications are confused by the screen preview. They ignore the EPS rules and use the size of the preview image rather than the PostScript bounding box, resulting in improper recreation of the EPS graphic. If you get unsatisfactory results, try using Igor’s Suppress Preview option. The resulting EPS will display as a plain box in most programs but will print correctly.

After removing that option everything seems fine now, although I have to use XeLaTeX and not LaTeX itself.

You are probably use pdflatex instead of latex. The former is actually recommended but doesn't support EPS graphics but only JPG, PNG and PDF. You should convert the EPS to PDF using e.g. epstopdf. Newer versions of pdflatex from TeX Live should do this conversion automatically by running a restricted version (for safety reasons) called repstopdf.

Your gnuplot script has many flaws:

you can use only one terminal, so the set term postscript lines should be removed;
avoid using underscores in your files, because they will cause problems;
the multiplot mode should be closed and the output should be reset, otherwise the output file won't be closed;
as pointed out by Christoph, the set origins and set sizes are useless;
you have to wrap dollar signs around all labels, otherwise ^ will throw errors.

This is a revised version of your gnuplot script:

reset
set terminal epslatex color colortext
set output "pbspI=6.tex"

set style data lines
set multiplot
set log

set xlabel "$t$"
set ylabel '$P_\ell(t)-P_\ell(\infty)$'

set format y  '$10^{%L}$'
set format x  '$10^{%L}$'

set xr [0.1:10000]
set yr [0.000001:1.2] 

plot 'sp_I=6.out' u 1:2 w l title '$\ell=6,N=20$' lc 1 lw 2, \
     1800/x**1.5 lw 2 title '$t^{-1.5}$', \
     1.7/x**0.5 lw 2 title '$t^{-0.5}$'
unset multiplot
set output

This is the .tex file in which the picture will be included:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \input{pbspI=6.tex}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
