Hello people,

I installed Mac TeX -2009 Distribution on a new iMAC.

when I try to run texexec on a Context file that includes a metapost program,
I receive no picture that is defined in metapost part.
(btw in my linux installation it works)

What I can find in log file is:
...
runsystem(texmfstart texexec --batch --output=dvips --mpformat=metafun --mptex --nomp --once obrazek-mpgraph)...disabled.
...

Running this sequence manually and reruning the 1st texexec I receive what I expect.

Is it a feature of Mac distribution or there is a mismatch in some file/directory permissions? (mptopfd, ...)
Are there another installation steps needed after fresh MacTeX installation?

the test file is:

\startuseMPgraphic{def}
...

\stopuseMPgraphic

\startuseMPgraphic{obr30}
\includeMPgraphic{def}
...
\stopuseMPgraphic

\starttext

test
\placefigure[here][fig1]{yyy} {\useMPgraphic{obr30}}
end of test

\stoptext

Nice day,

See http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100322.074003.4e366fdd.en.html

Perhaps this ought to be added to the texlive page

Thank you, Yes it works.
