How to include EPS figures using pdfLaTeX?

Question

I have read the numerous related questions on this site, but I still couldn't get it to work. I followed instructions from this answer:

\documentclass[journal, a4paper]{IEEEtran}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[!t]
\includegraphics{overnondomination}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

The output is:

*****
*****     PDFLaTeX output: 
*****     cd "/home/martin/MyArticles/Minimum_example"
*****     pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction=nonstopmode example.tex
*****
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (TeX Live 2012/Debian)
 \write18 enabled.
...
! Package pdftex.def Error: File `overnondomination-eps-converted-to.pdf' not found.

Please, could you help me find out what I am doing wrong?

EDIT:

As suggested, the problem happened before this error message. It turned out that I had not installed epstopdf.

Running

sudo apt-get install texlive-font-utils

solved the problem.

Unfortunately I also cannot reproduce the problem, with the same version of pdfTeX: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (TeX Live 2012). Is it true that the file overnondomination-eps-converted-to.pdf doesn't exist? Can you post more of your output? (If the answer to the first question is 'yes', presumably there is an error message for the file conversion, and seeing it might help work out what is going on here.) — Ant, Nov 20 '13 at 12:47

@Ant thank you! You were right. I just didn't have epstopdf installed on my computer. I had no idea it was a standalone program :) — Martin Drozdik, Nov 20 '13 at 13:02
@MartinDrozdik Contained by TeX Live, epstopdf can be installed by TeX Live. However, I don't know which component you should select, when setting up TeX Live, because I installed all parts of TeX Live. :( — Ch'en Meng, Nov 21 '13 at 01:09
This question appears to be off-topic because it is about a problem due to missing essential software (incomplete installation) — egreg, Feb 01 '14 at 22:38
@egreg Should I delete the question? Maybe someone has the same problem as me and for the same reason as me. — Martin Drozdik, Feb 01 '14 at 22:48
You can add an answer, if you prefer. In that case I'll retract my closing vote. — egreg, Feb 01 '14 at 23:02

After examining the output closer I found out that the file overnondomination-eps-converted-to.pdf was never created.

This is because I had not installed epstopdf.

Running

sudo apt-get install texlive-font-utils

solved the problem.
