Hullo,
i have installed the current stable release from ctan dated 2001-11-13.
Until today it never was a problem getting mptopdf working; but now
i get:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-14h-released-20010417 (Web2C 7.3.3.1)

ConTeXt is installed in a local path, there is always an old version in the
original teTeX tree present. But as i can see the files in the old tree are not
used, thus a version mismatch can not occur. Here is the log of the format generation

I have moved the fmt-file to /usr/share/texmf/web2c where other fmt-files normally
also are.
Since this fmt-file is the only existing mptopdf.fmt in the system i'm sure that this
is the one used.
Since this problem also breaks the direct MPS-inclusion in documents i'm really in trouble.
Any hints? Thanks in advance, best
Jens
