I have done all of this, it doesn't work. Neither commenting the line,
nor removing it. 

What can I do now?

Maybe if I understand exactly how it works I can try to debug?
texexec calls mpost, which should call mpto.
This apparently works since there is no such error as above.
But what I do not understand is why the mpto run fails, because
that's the problem, isn't it? How can I investigate if mpto
is really called and trap it?

Thanks,

Denis
