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

Hm.
- set mpxcommand in texmf.cnf to nothing
- use the latest texexec

you may try to run the graphic with
texexec --mptex mpgraph.mp

I solved it -- I used a per cent sign in the gnuplot source,
escaped with a single backslash where two would have been appropriate.
Sorry for the noise.
