Re: presentation failure

[Guo Yang <gxy3139@njit.edu>]

As far as I know this problem is caused by the old metapost macro files. 
Check this directory: '$TEXMF/metapost/context' and see if you have same 
*.mp files in this directory as well as in the directory 
'$TEXMF/metapost/context/base'. If you do, which I believe you must:), 
delete all the mp files in '$TEXMF/metapost/context', refresh the name 
database and regenerate the metafun format file as other people have 
suggested. Everything should be fine after this.

Good Luck,

Guo
