Hi again,
I have reinstalled my whole Linux system to Debian 2.2, and Metapost
won't run out of the box, instead exits with the message "I can't find
file mpost.mem!" This is a file I hadn't possessed with my old
distro, so where can I find that file?
Thanks for input
Johannes

I send Johannes my file (66840 bytes) which was in $TEXMF/web2c. What
puzzled me was that this file only exists in my local tetex (self
compiled teTeX-beta from February 2000), but not in the SuSE default
(teTeX-1.0.7).

It's a format file for metapost. Should be generated by the installed
system (or by texexec).

Perhaps 'texconfig confall' or 'fmtutil --all' or something like that helps?
(I tinkered so much on my two Linux systems -- SuSE 6.3 and SuSE PPC 6.4 --,
that I can't remember, what made them work.)

mpost --ini mpost
gives you a mem file
[texexec --make metafun gives you a metafun mem file]
You can always say:
SET MPMEMS=....\web2c
to force a path

It can be made from texmf/metapost/config/mpost.mp on my system.

compiling a file I get an error message on screen that says:
" I can't find the memfile 'mpost.mem'! "
any ideas where I should look to solve this?
Groet!
