Bug Description
When writing my book I am running into a problem including PS Tricks figures into my manuscript. I finally broke down the problem to a simple example which is attached to this report. The attached sample zip file (containing a tex and pst file) demonstrates the problem which occurs in Ubuntu 10.04 (desktop) using Texlive 2009.
Problem description:
I try to include a PS Tricks figure (which is created by JPicEdt 1.4.1-03) with "\input" in LaTeX. Considering the attached sample I perform the following steps:
latex test
dvips test
ps2pdf13 test.ps test.pdf
The translation "ps2pdf13" hangs and does not generate the demanded pdf file.
Now in the source code of "test.tex" change "\input" to "\include" and the generation of the pdf file does work. Unfortunately the PDF does not contain the expected PS Tricks figure, however.
Both cases with "\input" and "\include" work perfectly fine in Ubuntu 8.04 (though I need the \input case only). I am a bit depressed because this means that I cannot continue writing my book with Ubuntu 10.04.

I can not reproduce the bug on my machine. Using \input works perfectly. However, my texmf tree has been updated to include the latest versions of PSTricks packages. pst-all} and to replace it with \usepackage{ pstricks} .
Try to remove \usepackage{
You can also put the command \listfiles above the \documentclass command so that file versions can be checked.
