Hi to everybody,

I am trying to get the following simple pstricks code to work and run 
into problems. Could any one perhaps identify the problem and suggest 
a solution?

This is the code:
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(3.5,2.5)
\psline(2,1)(3,2)
\end{pspicture}

If I typset it via pstricks , i.e. typset the document usen latex + 
ghostscript, I get the desired result ( the line I am trying to 
draw). Here is the file that works this way:

  \documentclass[10pt]{article}
            \usepackage{pstricks}
            \usepackage{rotating}
            \usepackage{pst-plot}
            \usepackage{pst-text,pst-node,pst-tree}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(3.5,2.5)
\psline(2,1)(3,2)
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

However, If I try do get the same line via pdftricks, I get two blank 
pages and an error message. Here is the code I am trying  to typset:

  \documentclass[10pt]{article}
  \usepackage{pdftricks}
  \usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf
            \begin{psinputs}
             \usepackage{pstricks-add}
            \usepackage{pstricks}
            \usepackage{rotating}
            \usepackage{pst-plot}
            \usepackage{pst-text,pst-node,pst-tree}
        \end{psinputs}
\else
  \usepackage{pstricks-add}
        \usepackage{pstricks}
        \usepackage{pst-plot}
        \usepackage{pst-text,pst-node,pst-tree}
\fi

\begin{document}

\begin{pdfpic}
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(3.5,2.5)
\psline(2,1)(3,2)
\end{pspicture}
\end{pdfpic}

\end{document}

And here is the  log:
