I suppose you're using the Lout PDF back-end ("lout -Z").  It's largely
unmaintained and lacks many features, so the recommended way is to
produce PS files and then convert them to PDF with, e.g., Ghostscript's
`ps2pdf'.  That will allow you to convert a PS file that includes EPS
files to PDF.

Hope this helps,
Ludovic.
