Hi
I created a directory for all my images so that I can use them for different presentations: 

\includegraphics[...]{../images/xxx.eps}

The latex command works OK and I can see the images with yap,
but dvips can't find the file :-(

Any ideas?

Thanks

Moti
I tend not to mention paths in \includegraphics. Rather, I declare them in the preamble with something like 

\graphicspath{{../images/}}  %note the two pairs of brackets

and use


\includegraphics[...]{xxx}


This allows for cleaner code and I never had problems with dvips.
If dvips still can't find the file, try giving the full path to \graphicspath, e.g. 

\graphicspath{{/Users/myname/mytexproject/images/}}
