    I don't know what happened to my macbook but seems like usual command to change fig to eps is not working anymore. The terminal says permission denied. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you. I have attached the file for the error.

    The messages show in the screen shot all seem related to the command shell. fig2eps seems to be a shell script, which most likely invokes fig2dev, the latter being the program that truly does the conversion work. Probably, the executable bit is not set on fig2eps, ls -l would show, and chmod +x would set the executable bit.

    To generate image files that contain equations, I would recommend to invoke, at the command line, e.g., for a graphic called img.fig, fig2dev -L tikz -P img.fig img.tex and then pdflatex img.tex.

    Hello tkl, thank you for your reply. Still it's not working. Since the terminal is saying the following: The default interactive shell is now zsh.
    To update your account to use zsh, please run chsh -s /bin/zsh. I have ran this code to update. Did I do something wrong? I much appreciate your help.

    Sorry, I did not notice your comment. In any case, I am not able to resolve this issue. Even more so, as this is related to the operating system, and quite far from xfig / fig2dev.
