You can do that by the following command. mpost --ini metafun You have to move the resulting mem file to the location where METAPOST expects to find it. If you want to be sure that everything is done correctly, you may try: texexec --make --alone metafun I recommend the last method. I don't know what it's like for tetex or web2c but for miktex put the .mem file in texmf\miktex\mem.
