Howdy,

You are trying to compile using pdflatex (the default) which doesn't  
understand eps input. You need to compile using the TeX+Ghostscript  
(latex->dvips->ps2pdf) script. The easiest way to do this is by  
putting the line

%!TEX program = latex

at the top fo the file. Then TeXShop will automatically use the TeX 
+Ghostscript script to compile the file.

Good Luck,
