help on latex

[Pushparaj Shetty]

Hi,

The documentclass does not  support the psfig , which is essential for
including figures.
It gives the following error message:
 
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \psfig

It worked fine in redhat 9.0.
Please tell me how to get the same latex as in RedHat linux 9.0.
