Greetings,

I get the error message with Metapost: "Unable to make mpx file".
It is generated when Metapost sees a btex macro. 

What am I doing wrong? In /usr/share/texmf/context/config/texexec.ini,
the line "set  MpToTeXExecutable  to  mpto" is uncommented, and mpto 
exists on my machine as an executable binary.

I saw no mentioning of that error message in the Metapost manual.

Any quick answers would be welcome (I have the talk on Monday and I 
would really hate to have to re-write everything to FoilTeX tomorrow)

Greetings

Johannes
