Hi Tako, thank you for your response.
   
  There is nothing in mpxerr.log. 
   
  When I was trying to use mptopdf to convert mp file to pdf, it didn't produce myfile-1.pdf... type files, even though it said it was converted. So, I looked up this manual
   
  http://tex.aanhet.net/context/mirror/general/sources/mptopdf.pdf
   
  and typed "pdftex --ini mptopdf" at command prompt without understanding. Magically, it produced pdf files, but now metapost doesn't work. Maybe, the process "pdftex --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 not happen with the executable in texlive's bin directory.

Best wishes,
Taco

Try trunning
    makempx -tex=latex 2MS6.mp
directly. Maybe that gives a better error message

Best, Taco
