make-latex: using xfig (.fig) graphics in latex documents

[Sergejs Boginskis]

The link you have provided is dead,
yes I was unable to set .fig figures into Latex document, I was using
different packages.
One workaround exists that should work for you,
'fig2ps' tool can convert xfig files into pdf, pdf's are included without
any problems (at least for me).
Install this tool (sudo apt-get install fig2ps), here you find some
description,

Report back if you will have any problems.
