mpost updating

mpost updating

[Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini]

Hallo,

I have updated an older ConTeXt (ver: 2007.07.29 22:06 MKII)
with a aktuell mpost.

I have used 

'http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/metapost/mswin/bin/'

as source.

The command 

'texmfstart texexec --autopdf --make --all'

produces no metapost formats at all.

Calling 'mpost.exe' I get a messagebox with the error:

'procedure entry point "kpse_record_input" in DLL "kpathsea356.dll" 
not found' (my translation from german).

What is wrong here?

Wolfgang

I'm only guessing, but I could imagine that your kpathsea356.dll is
too old for the metapost that you took from the garden. Some binaries
are here:
    http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/common/mswin/bin/

You could use rsync, but if you have problems with that, make a backup
copy of your binaries and then simply overwrite them with the contents
of http://minimals.contextgarden.net/pragma/mswin.zip (only its "bin"
folder, you don't need anything else).
