You need to use pdflatex to compile it, which support jpg images. Check out here for more info.

Update: as commented by @daleif, MPS, i.e. metapost eps can also be included via pdflatex without the need of conversion.

    You're forgetting MPS, metapost eps, that can be included via pdflatex without the need of conversion.

I generally convert the filename.eps or .jpg or .png or whatever to PDF, rename the filename.pdf to filename_converted_to.pdf and insert filename.eps in the \includegraphics command..

It's what's done during the pdflatex compilation process.

You'll have something like that:

\includegraphics{./imgs/filename.jpg}

    I cannot make sense of this answer. You convert a jpg to pdf rename it and never use that name again, then you include the eps but in the example it's a jpg? I'm confused. Plus, is this really an answer for latex or rather for pdflatex?
