graphics

After update of MikTeX compilation stops with the following error:

File `pdftex.def' not found. ...ed{ver@\Gin@driver}{\input{\Gin@driver}}{}.

I had this exact same problem. After I updated, I notice that "graphics-def" was uninstalled somehow! Installing this again will fix the problem.

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.

\graphicspath is used to set the paths where graphics may reside for use within your file/project. It has the following form:

\graphicspath{{<first/path>}{<second/path>}...{<last/path>}}

Note the fact that each elements within the set of paths have braces around it. This holds true for even a single path (\graphicspath{{<a/single/path>}}).

Regardless, you also need to

\usepackage{graphicx}

in order to use any form of graphics, before setting any \graphicspath.
