The first line of the file is:
%!TEX TS-program = latex

The first line on the console are:
### This is /usr/texbin/simpdftex, Version $Revision: 2.18 $
### /usr/texbin/latex Essai.tex
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
%&-line parsing enabled.

There is a first run of TeX, ended by
Output written on Essai.dvi (286 pages, 633044 bytes).
Transcript written on Essai.log.

Then there is a second run, beginning with

### /usr/texbin/dvips -R -Poutline  -o /tmp/altpdflatex. 
957-1193523574/Essai.ps Essai.dvi

Essai.ps

followed by some font commands:  
<tex.pro><8r.enc><texps.pro><special.pro>. <mt2syt.pfb><mt2mit.pfb>
<lttbi8a.pfb><mt2bmif.pfb><mt2bmis.pfb> [...]

and ending with

277] [278] [279] [280] [281<./NEW/HubbardFig152.eps>] [282]
### ps2pdf13 /tmp/altpdflatex.957-1193523574/Essai.ps /tmp/ 
altpdflatex.957-1193523574/Hubbard-TOME1-2e.pdf
### Copying/moving pdf file /tmp/altpdflatex.957-1193523574/Essai.pdf  
to Essai.pdf
### Succesfully generated Essai.dvi and Essai.pdf

The same problems arises when I use pdflatex, but there is no second  
run, as the pdf files are made from the ps ones on the run, and no  
error messages.

Same problem.

No, Preview gets stuck. In fact, Preview gets stuck avery time I  
download a ps or eps file from the web.

Yes! See above.

I suppose everything comes with TeXLive + TeXShop.

Of course, there is a solution: to pixellize the image, using Photoshop.
