Have you closed the postscript device?  Normally you need a dev.off() after
you finished the plot.  Try putting dev.off() after your hist().

The other thing is can you actually view "lecture00-graph-01.eps" in the
directory, with a postscript Viewer?

The last point, I think pdflatex (or pdftex) does not accept PS/EPS
formatted picture.  Can you latex trix.tex?  If so, try to save your
histogram as a PDF or PNG file, then pdflatex it again.

Cheers,

Kevin
