I have not used bmeps. However you can use epstopdf. pdflatex does not acce=
pt eps graphics. It accepts jpg,  png, and pdf image formats. epstopdf co=
nverts eps graphics into pdf graphic format. You will then have two copie=
s of the graphic one for use with latex (.eps) and the other with pdflate=
x (.pdf).

In your preamble add:
\usepackage{epstopdf}

Make sure that your \includegraphics staements do not state the extension o=
f the graphic. epstopdf will convert them on the fly. One thing to note. =
For this to work you need to run pdflatex with the following option:

pdflatex -enable-write18 filename.tex

This is necessary since epstopdf is a separate program. The -enable-write18=
 flag allows for any program to run.    Dont use it when dealing with fil=
es from untrusted sources.
