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

hi,
I have a simple latex document in that I try to include a xfig graphic
with .fig extension but it does not work.

The figlatex.pdf documentation on the latex-make website
http://gforge.inria.fr/docman/~\index{.php?group_id=261&selected_doc_group_id=420&language_id=1 

states that .fig files can be bound in latex sources as:
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{myfig.fig}

I've tried it as visible in my source file below but receive following
error message when I run make:

! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .fig.

transfig is installed on my Ubuntu 6.10.

Following is the latex source file:
---------------//main.tex ---------------------------
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}

\title{My Report}
\author{Luqman Munawar}
\maketitle

\tableofcontents{}
\listoffigures
\listoftables

\chapter{chapter number one}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{networking_scenario.fig}

\chapter{chapter number two}
\end{document}
------------------END main.tex \\ -------------------------

Any idea what is the cause of this problem? Is there a bug in Edgy
related to latex-make?

Regards,
