I am encountering an error that I am very confused by. My usual method of googling and looking at other answers has not helped. I am trying to include some image files, and I get the following error.

### ps2pdf -dCompatibilityLevel=1.5  /tmp/altpdflatex.4031-1618004853/q-polytope.2021.4.2.ps /tmp/altpdflatex.4031-1618004853/q-polytope.2021.4.2.pdf

My latex file looks something like this


\documentclass[12pt]{amsart}

\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,euscript,mathrsfs,bm,enumerate,pstricks}


\usepackage[shortlabels]{enumitem}


\usepackage{tikz-cd}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{ {./images/} }


\usepackage[colorlinks=true,linkcolor=black,citecolor=black,urlcolor=black]{hyperref}


\begin{figure}[h!]
  \centering
  \subcaptionbox{a nice picture}[.3\linewidth][c]{%
    \includegraphics[width=.8\linewidth,natwidth=640,natheight=412]{filename.png}}\quad
\end{figure}

I am using texshop, and typesetting using xelatex. Does anyone have any idea what could be the issue?

    why do you call ps2pdf if you are using xelatex? Oh you mean, you get it during the compilation? Make a small, complete real example that demonstrates the error and can be tested. Give also access to the picture if it is part of the problem. – Ulrike Fischer Apr 09 '21 at 22:12
  • That is correct. The code that I have kept above is indeed my own code with some portions redacted and file names changed. I will see if I can give more but I believe all the relevant parts of the code are there. – A. S. Apr 10 '21 at 04:46
  • At first it doesn't compile as it incomplete. And we don't have the picture so can't use it for a test. And don't only believe that the code contains all the relevant code but test it. You will perhaps have to show the log too. – Ulrike Fischer Apr 10 '21 at 07:29
