On which platform? Seems that you don't have the necessary poppler packages installed (for PDF import).

For EPS import, Inkscape uses ps2pdf from Ghostscript to convert the EPS file on-the-fly to a PDF file, and then opens the PDF file using internal routines (based on poppler).

Are both file types missing in the list of available file types in the 'File > Open…' dialog?

Note that for Windows, you can download development builds from <http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/?C=M;O=D> (updated every 7-10 days usually).
