This problem sounds like one reported earlier. In texexec.rme (ini) you can
find: 

set  MpExecutable       to  mpost
set  MpToTeXExecutable  to  mpto
set  DviToMpExecutable  to  dvitomp

and in the tetex/fptex 

                        to mptotex 

you can try to change the tetex one into "mpto". I will change the defaults
to what is reported 'standard'. 

The problem is that depending on what tex one uses there can be "mpto
mptotex mp mpost dvitomp dvitompx" and whatever one can think of. I think
that we should sort out once and forever those names. 

miktex : ...
linux  : ...
windows: ...
mac    : ... 

this is really the fuziest part of mp and i will probably replace the
'official tool' mpto(tex) by a perl script anyway, but we need to support
the official way too -)
