+These are some instructions that came with dvipdfm. I never
+follow them myself, but I will tell you about them in case they
+are useful to you.
+
+Replace the dvipdfm.def in your LaTex distribution with the one
+provided by the latest dvipdfm distribution. This is necessary for
+.eps and .png file support. The install script will not do this
+for you because I do not believe it is healthy to overwrite a file
+supplied by a different distribution.
+
+The file dvipdfm.def from the latest dvipdfm distribution may be
+found in /usr/local/share/dvipdfm. The file that should to be
+replaced may be found in /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics.
+
+Edit the config script in the texmf/dvipdfm directory and change to
+suit your needs. An important configuration option is to set the
+helper application for converting PS/EPS files to PDF format. By
+default this is setup for GhostScript. If the idea
+of executing running a command in a shell scares you,
+comment out the line with the command string. Alternatively,
+if you really want to disable it, comment the #define HAVE_SYSTEM
+in config.h
