I've spent lots of hours trying to solve a problem by myself. Unfortunately it seems that no one else has experienced the same problem. At least, searching through various forums and employing Google did not help. So there we go:
I want to incorporate MATLAB figures into my thesis using matlabfrag and pstool and I still havn't been able to get it to work. My setup is Windows 7 + MiKTeX 2.9 + newest updates + TeXnicCenter.
MATLAB code:
figure(1), clf;
plot([1 2]);
ylabel('A straight line');
matlabfrag('testpic');
LaTeX example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstool}
\begin{document}
\psfragfig{testpic}
\end{document}
Calling pdflatex with -shell-escape produces the following error(s):
! LaTeX Error: File `./testpic' not found.
and additionally from the logfile
I could not locate the file with any of these extensions:
.png,.pdf,.jpg,.mps,.jpeg,.jbig2,.jb2,.PNG,.PDF,.JPG,.JPEG,.JBIG2,.JB2
I attached the .log produced with \listfiles.
The first error is the same as if I were trying to input an .eps with \includegraphics and pdflatex. Thus I assume that pstool or whatever in between does not generate the testpic.pdf the compiler is looking for.
Further annotations:
- When calling
latexwith-shell-escape, everything works fine - I tried the above example on three different machines with the same setup and also with TexMaker. Always the same result, which puzzles me even more due to the fact I was not able to locate anybody else having the same problem.
Thus I suppose I'm doing a general systematic error but I do not see it. Hopefully you do.

Errors logfile( texlive 2011 on windows 7):
I had similar problem with pstool, while working with pdflatex shell-escape options. I have used matlabfrag to generate .eps and .tex figures from Matlab. The problem started when i update the Miktex packages on 30 May 2011 (Approx) when Ghostscrpit bin was updated.
Before that the auxillary process of generating pictures was fine with pstool package. I have mailed the problem to the Developer of Pstool(https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/179/will-robertson).
I am waiting for the reply from Will Robertson. The problem may be due to
ifplatformpackage recognition for the OSI have checked on Linux with texlive 2011, its working fine. There is problem of pstool on Windows, with miktex 2.9 latest and also with texlive 2011 on windows in the PDFLATEX route. For a texlive 2011 on windows, there is problem reported here texlive shell escape problems with psfrag (May be both questions can be combined as one)
When i checked with options [cleanup={}], you can analyze the problem in auxillary process. For me it stops at Postscript figure creation. Normally it should create a PDF of the text included postscript file. My guess would be Ghostscript binary are not picked properly by the auxillary process of pstool. Somewhere around ps2pdf operation. I spent a lot of time debugging the problem and googling for solutions.
If we go through the Latex-DVI route. pstool works fine for me. But i have lot of .png files in my .tex file. Hence i choose pdflatex route.
The workaround would be apply latex-dvi until we get the PDF with proper text font and then run pdflatex asusual.
I have switched to linux to work on this project temporarily until there would be some solution from Miktex or pstool authors.
