"Package keyval error" in loading figure to LaTeX document.
kkirtac
created my figure in matlab and saved as 'fig1.eps' and moved it to
the same directory with my .tex document. I try to load it in my .tex
document by,
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=3in,keepaspectratio]{fig1.eps}\\
\caption{dummy} \label{fig1}
\end{figure}
i compile it with latex command but always receive the error :
'Package keyval error: width=3in undefined.' I have both included
graphics, graphicx and epsfig packages..need help, thanks in advance..

A minimal example would be helpful, probably the catcode of `=' is
different than the usual catcode 12/other.
For example, some languages use `=' as shorthand in babel
(turkish, ...). Then the equal sign has catcode 13/active.
This can be solved by using \shorthandoff:
\shorthandoff{=}
\includegraphics[width=3in,keepaspectration]{fig1.eps}
\shorthandon{=}
Or the key value parser of package `kvsetkeys' can be used:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[turkish]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{kvsetkeys}
\let\setkeys\kvsetkeys
\begin{document}
\section{Hello World}
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=3in,keepaspectratio]{s1.png}
\caption{dummy}\label{fig1}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

If this is graphicx.sty, then keepaspectratio requires a boolean
value. Try \includegraphics[width=3in,keepaspectratio=true]{fig1.eps}

conclude that babel(turkish) caused the problem..

Perhaps you are using a DVI viewer that doesn't support PostScript
figures? Then convert to PostScript or PDF. Also assure that you
are using the right graphicx driver and that your driver supports
PostScript images (e.g., pdfTeX does not).

no it doesn't: boolean keys default to true.

I assume you are correct, although the graphicx package documentation
doesn't really say that exactly. It defines each key uniquely, and all
boolean keys are defined to operate in this manner.
In either case, I was wrong and I am happy to be corrected.
