[OS X TeX] dvips problem

[lycee.condorcet at voila.fr]

Hi Peter,

But I have the correponding BB file !

I use eps.gz graphics in many files, and I had no such problem with leopard and MacTex 2008 (and older). The problem whith dvips appeared few days ago with the upgrade to snow-leopard and MacTeX 2010.

When I said "there is no problem with dvips", I would say that dvips indicate no error.

I've made a little test. I join the result and the different files to this mail.

Thanks for your help

François
