The script "ps2eps", necessary for "pdftricks 1-16" is missing. You can 
download/copy it at :

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pointRuler/ps2eps

Install it then in "/usr/local/bin" (for example), or anywhere your 
Unix may find commands. Then everything will work with pdflatex ans 
pdftricks, I think.
