[Tex/LaTex] How to use “latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf” to get pdf output

dvipsepsps2pdf

I am using pdflatex to produce a .pdf file. But, it is not working when .eps files are compiled. I have tried it with XeLatex but, it is hanging out sometimes. Now I want to produce a .pdf file using two steps : latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf. I don't know how to use it. The location of my .tex file (i.e., Myfile.tex) is on the desktop and the system is Ubuntu11.04.
As for example : 

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{graphicx,epstopdf}  

\begin{document}
Here some text  
\begin{figure}[ht]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[height=3.5cm,width=3cm,angle=0]{fig1}
\caption{First figure}
\end{center}
\end{figure}  
Here some text
\end{document}

How can I do so?

Best Answer

Open the terminal application then type:

cd Desktop
latex yourfile.tex
dvips yourfile.dvi
ps2pdf yourfile.ps

(finish each line with pressing enter).
