Hi,

web2c. tetex 1.0.6 with context installed separately.

this is one output from texexec:

       metapost to tex : mpgraph
            executable : pdfetex
                format : cont-en
             inputfile : tmpgraph
                output : dvips
             interface : en
               options : once batch nomp
          current mode : all

shortly after this:

              run time : 0 seconds
              metapost : mpgraph
                format : metafun
This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.3.1)

figures        : figure mpgraph can not be found
[1.1{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/pdftex.map

...

this is the tetex part of texexec.ini:

for  tetex  set  UsedInterfaces    to  en,nl,de,uk 
for  tetex  set  UserInterface     to  en 
for  tetex  set  TeXExecutable     to  pdfetex
for  tetex  set  TeXVirginFlag     to  -ini
for  tetex  set  TeXPassString     to  -progname=context 
for  tetex  set  TeXBatchFlag      to  -int=batchmode 
for  tetex  set  MpToTeXExecutable to  mpto
for  tetex  set  MpVirginFlag      to  -ini 
for  tetex  set  MpPassString      to  -progname=mpost
for  tetex  set  MpBatchFlag       to  -int=batchmode 

as far as I remember I have only changed the MpToTeXExecutable 
line and the UserInterface. I have also tried mptotex in the 
MpToTeXExecutable line. (And compiled a mptotex I've found on 
the internet. But this seemed to be even 
worse...)

which perl scripts do I have to use?
I have texexec, mptopdf and texutil in the search path.

after running texexec --pdf mprun.tex  I have the follwoing files
in my directory

mpgraph.log  mpgraph.mpx  mprun.pdf  mprun.tmp  mprun.tuo     tmpgraph.tmp
mpgraph.mp   mprun.log    mprun.tex  mprun.tui  tmpgraph.log  tmpgraph.tui

Viele Gruesse,
