[Tex/LaTex] way to fix the following errors

errors

I am trying to compile a .tex file using pdflatex and I get the following two kinds of errors:

Package natbib Warning: Citation `give-citation' on page 14 undefined on input line 41.

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> ...e \NAT@cmt \fi \if \relax \NAT@date \relax \else \NAT@@close \...
 l.46 ... information is available \cite{}

It works smoothly with pdflatex on my mac.

Another error that I get on this linux box (again using pdflatex) is:

 ! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps.

 See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
 Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ....
 l.12 ...\includegraphics[width=4.2in]{tree.eps}

These errors appear quite frequently, they are all over the document. Is it possible to fix them?

Best Answer

The Undefined control sequence is because a macro is not defined. Most likely one of your packages (natbib or a related one) is outdated. Simply update your LaTeX installation and try it again. Also have a look in the log file for warnings which sound like "package has been requested in version <...> but only version <...> was found" or similar.

The second error is because you are trying to use a EPS with pdflatex which doesn't support this format. Either convert this file to a PDF using e.g. the epstopdf program or you can load the epstopdf package to do this automatically. This however requires that the option -shell-escape is used.
