Failure of make distcheck because of image in texinfo file

[Marcelo Zimbres]

Hi,
in my project, I have the line

@image{herald,13cm,4cm,,.jpg}

in the texinfo file. After running autoreconf and configure, "make pdf"  and
"make html" succeed in generating the files, but if I run make distcheck it
fails with the message:

_______________________________________________________

./../doc/swat.texi:144: Could not open file herald.eps, ignoring it.
@epsfgetbb ...Could not open file #1, ignoring it}
                                                  @else address@hidden @other =

@next #1->@epsfgetbb {#1}
                         @epsfsetgraph {#1}

                                                  @fi @ifimagevmode

l.144 @image{herald,13cm,4cm,,.jpg}

seems like it is coplaining about the @image. Any way to fix this?
