MPtoPDF Error ??

MPtoPDF Error ??

[Wim Neimeijer]

I am getting the following error when recompiling my docs with the 
latest context.
The docs run ok with the previous context version.

Don't know what is wrong here, I hope someone has the answer.

Check your metapost version. It should be upwards of 0.990,
if it is not, that is the problem.

for MS Windows date 24-11-2006

Just fetch this one:

   https://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=13&release_id=194

You can simply unzip and copy the binaries from the 
metapost-0.993-win32.zip over the ones from the distrib,
and run ctxtools --update to refresh the metafun format.

Best, Taco

Installed metapost 0.993 (reports as 0.992) and did the ctxtools 
--update, however at the end of the update I am getting

This could be bad, but it is unrelated to metapost. If you context still
runs ok, I would not worry about it, since it seems metafun is the only
format that was correctly regenerated.

It could be that ctxtools somehow only understands about pdftex 1.40
(whose executable name for pdfetex is now once again renamed to pdftex)

Hans can no doubt explain what happens here better than I can.

Best,
