Hello,
There's something wrong in using (old)texexec/metapost on an input file
named file.001.tex (I guess that 001 could be any number): the mp graphic
is not generated. If I change file.001.tex to file.tex, it works ok.
I attach the test file used if it can be useful.
Regards,
BG

Yes, that's a known problem. Have a look at this thread:

Does it work with newtexexec?

works here; do you use the latest (new)texexec?

The problem appears only for the old perl texexec. Testing with the ruby
one does not produce the problem. I guess it's a problem with the OS: in
the thread the problem occured on OS X, and I've the trouble on a FreeBSD
machine (and OS X is FreeBSD).
BTW, sorry for that stupid question, but is there a safe or recommended
way to install and use newtexexec? For testing I only did ruby
/usr/local/share/texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby/newtexexec.rb
try2.001.tex.

BG

export TEXMFSTART_MODE=experimental
(or adapt the texexec stub)
