Re: problem with metapost

Hi!!

 it's better!
Now, I get :
Randomizer initialized to 1478414547.MPOST: unrecognized option
`-progname=mpost
'
MPOST: try `MPOST --help' for more information.

figures        : figure essai2-mpgraph can not be found
MPOST: unrecognized option `-progname=mpost'
MPOST: try `MPOST --help' for more information.
figures        : figure essai2-mpgraph can not be found

I think my texexec.ini is correct and "texexec --verbose confirms it" :
there is no option : -progname=mpost!

What do I have to do?

Thanks for your help

Hervé

PS : another question : in LaTeX I used 8-bit characters (for éèà....). Is
there the same in ConTeXt?

there are two ways to get this right (assuming that you run a not too old
texexec)

(1) enable write 18 in the tex related setup file as well as in
cont-sys.tex [see rme file]
(2) run mp afterwards, i.e. use texexec that does it for you (there is now
a switch --automp)

if (1) and (2) fail:

(3) try "texexec --mptex essai2-mpgraph.mp"
