Hi Tako, thank you for your response.
 
There is nothing in mpxerr.log.
 
When I w= as trying to use mptopdf to convert mp file to pdf, it didn't produce myf= ile-1.pdf... type files, even though it said it was converted. So, I look= ed up this manual
 
http://tex.aanhet.net/co= ntext/mirror/general/sources/mptopdf.pdf
 
a= nd typed "pdftex --ini mptopdf" at command p= rompt without understanding. Magically, it produced pdf files, but now me= tapost doesn't work. Maybe, the process "pdf= tex --ini mptopdf" had changed the path of metapost execution.

Can you check what is in mpxerr.log? It looks like the 'normal'latex command in your path has a problem with something, that
does n= ot happen with the executable in texlive's bin directory.

Best wis= hes,
Taco
