Hi!!

I have exactly the same problem (see problem with metapost). I'm happy that
i'm not alone ;-)

I searched for the string "-progname=mpost" in texmf and the only files that
contains it are :

texexec.ini and supp-mps.tex

in this last file, i tried to delete the line with "-prognam=mpost..."
without any result!

I don't anderstand where this message can come from!!

Hervé
