Howdy,

Just adding the use of those packages is not enough. You've got to use special environments to encapsulate the pstrick stuff. Please read the documentation for pst-pdf: `texdoc pst-pdf` in Terminal or Help->Show Help for Package… in TeXshop. 

If you're using TeXShop there is also a pst-pdfmk engine that will do all the extra processing needed by pst-pdf found in ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive/Latexmk/. There are instructions in that folder to tell you how to enable the engine(s) there too.

Good Luck,
