I'm writing a math book and I get this error message when I compile with XeLaTeX.
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/pstricks/pstricks.sty
Package: pstricks 2013/12/12 v0.60 LaTeX wrapper for `PSTricks' (RN,HV)
! Undefined control sequence.
l.64 \ifnum\pdfshellescape
=\@ne\else
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
=
l.64 \ifnum\pdfshellescape=
\@ne\else
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
I need to compile with XeLaTeX because of I have to use some ttf fonts and I have read that it is simpler (to use ttf fonts in LaTeX) with XeLaTeX. But, first, I need to solve this problem with Pstricks and XeLaTeX.
What's wrong with Pstricks and XeLaTeX?
This is my preamble

NOTES:
1. I'm using TeXmaker in Opensuse Leap 42.2
2. I've installed xetex-pstricks package and almost all pstricks packages.
Now I'm going to share to you the code of the main file, a chapter example and two pdf outputs: one after compiling without the pstrick image and the other one after compiling with the image.

The second chapter code is (whitout the pstricks image)

This code produces this output
And here it goes with the pstricks image

Which produces this output
Thanks for your help.

I could solve my problem in an easy way: I just compiled with PDFTeX in order to get the pictures made by pstricks. Then, I edited every single image with Inkscape and, finally, I included them into my book with the figure environment. Thanks for your help.
