I am using the presentation pre-05 style (the one with lots of randomly
created rectangles) in my document and am getting the following error from
MetaPost. How can I fix it?
thank you

texexec --make --alone metafun
will give you the metafun mem file
metafun makes sure that 8000 is not too large -
btw, for those wondering about the large number, from now on static
graphics start counting down, and dynamic ones (that can contrbute to the
text flow and page breaking) from 1 onwards. Works quite well (here).

Well I saw the same with the new version, but the error-output helps a
lot.

Try
mpost -ini metafun
this produces a metafun.mem memory dump (the same as a tex.fmt) and a
metafun.log. If you don't want it to be in your working directory issue
this command in the $TEXMF/web2c/ directory (fpTeX or teTeX assumed)
and re-run texhash/mktexlsr or whatever the command is called.
