My question has been asked before but none of the answers previously has answered my question. I have an .eps file that I want to include in my LaTeX document. For this purpose I have included the epstopdf package. However, when I try to compile my document by using pdflatex, I get the error message File 'foo-eps-converted-to-pdf' not found. In the log file it says:
{/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}] [2]

See the pdftex.def package documentation for explanation. Type H

It should be noted that all files are in the same directory, so there shouldn't be any issues with that.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

.logfile is:The conversion do not work, because the shell escape feature is not enabled. Probably you are using an older TeX distribution. TeX Live and MiKTeX have a the restricted shell escape feature enabled by default.
On older systems (not too old, of course) the following option should work:
