hi Mr. Hans,
I was trying to run the metafun example as given
below. It gave one blank pdf page.
I moved the metafun.mem file to localtexmf/miktex/mem
and write18 enable in miktex.ini.
I did try it live context. the result is same can you
tell me the error. is it my system is not configured
properly. If so why is it live context gives same
result.
Thanks a lot.

On my linux system, I was missing the 'pstoedit' command.
I got a blank page (well, only a page number) just like
you, then I installed pstoedit, and now it looks fine.

Thanks for the hint. I never thought about installing pstoedit. I just
noticed long time ago that I was unable to make such fancy things, but
I thought I was simply to stupid to understand the manual :(.
However: after I somehow managed to download pstoedit (it is difficult
to get it because too much bandwidth is used), it crashes every time I
run texexec (just after the message "generating: metapost file"), but
somehow it produces the result.
Time to switch to linux ...

pstoedit: version 3.40 / DLL interface 108 (build Jan 6 2005 - release build)
Probably this is the problem? Maybe I can try with an older version,
but I don't have it.
I tried with 3.31 which resides in CTAN, but this is not compliant any
more with the new version of gs.
I tried a conversion ps -> mpost with some random file and with
filename-mpgraph.1 and it worked OK. I can't reproduce crash except by
running texexec on the posted document.
> >gswin32c --help
> AFPL Ghostscript 8.51 (2005-04-18)
I had 8.11 and replaced it with 8.51, but no difference. It crashes
only in the first run. The second run goes OK. Once I run texutil
--purgeall, it crashes again.

I doubt that the problem lies in GS, but everything is possible..
If anyone would like to test the version 3.40 on the posted document and
if there are downloading problems, please mail me. I can get no older version
to test.
Although it crashes, the resulting PDF file after 2 runs seems to be OK.
