That might be what is causing the problem since pdflatex is most likely finding the previous One_Way.pdf file and trying to include that.

Herb,

Thanks for the reply. Here's a working (i.e., non-working) minimal:

**************
%%!TEX TS-program = pdflatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[h]
   \centering
   \includegraphics[width=3in]{one_way}
   \caption{Lala}
   \label{fig:one_way}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
***************

The existence of a (any) figure file named one_way.jpg will work
(i.e., not work). xelatex also encountered the same problem.

Thanks.

JT
