On our site there are pointers to newer > binaries (thanh has a linux one on his site). i've just compiled a new binary -> same problem. This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-13h-pretest-20010126-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.3.1) I have tested another linux binary (precompiled) from tanh website (0.14f) > I assume that you run texexec with --pdf ? What happens of you comment the > \...true lines? 'nothing' :-) no mpgraph.1 generated. When I only declare \runMPgraphicstrue and not \runMPTEXgraphicstrue metapost tells me: -------------------------------------- Randomizer initialized to 780718373.This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.3.1) (mpgraph.mp (/home/gundlach/TeX/texmf/metapost/context/mp-tool.mp) (/home/gundlach/TeX/texmf/metapost/context/mp-spec.mp) (/home/gundlach/TeX/texmf/metapost/context/mp-grph.mp) (/home/gundlach/TeX/texmf/metapost/context/mp-page.mp) (/home/gundlach/TeX/texmf/metapost/context/mp-core.mp) >> mpgraph.mp >> mpgraph.mpx !

The same(?) mpost run, with exactly the words '&metafun mpgraph' typed by hand gives me an errorfree output: This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.3.1) (mem=metafun 2001.2.19) 19 FEB 2001 13:00 **&metafun mpgraph (mpgraph.mp {randomseed:=2508} write0 = `mpgraph.mpo'.

There is also a mptopdf.efmt. Is this correct? I have no idea where to look for more hints on this issue. > Do others recognize this problem? Viele Gruesse, Patrick Gundlach
