Hello,

I am using etch and grace for plotting. With the version of grace in
etch, I am having problems when I save my graphs in eps format. Other
applications doesn't recognize this eps: Latex (texlive) and oo impress
are two examples. This two programas does recognize eps files from other
applications. Does anyone know about a fix or where can I find another
version of grace?

What is the output of

file file_produced_from_grace.eps

Can you see your eps file using a eps viewer like gv without any problem?

Yes! I can see the eps file with gv, evince and acroread. But in Latex,
the epsfig package doesn't recognize the figure, and doesn't scale it.
And oo impress give the "unknown file format" message when I try to
include the file in a presentation. The problem is really annoying,
mostly with Latex, because I use Latex in work...

What do the first few lines of the .eps file look like? There should be
a few lines at the top that start with %, indicating what sort of
PostScript file it is.

A minimal set looks something like this:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 ESPF-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 72 72

Based on the observed behavior it sounds like it's something else, which
is presumably due to a bug in grace.

The actual rules for what the headers can look like are complicated,
so it's probably best to just paste them verbatim.
