Hi all,

I have had trouble with metapost lately; mptopdf seems broken. Here are
two small test files:

rent.mp:
........................
input metafun;
numeric u; u=15mm;


beginfig(1);
  drawarrow (0,0)..(8u,0);
draw (3u,-.2u)..(3u,.5u);
label.bot(btex 0 etex, (3.2u,0));
  endfig;

end

.......................

rent.tex:

.......................
\starttext
 
\externalfigure[/home/jean/graph/rent.1]

\stoptext
.......................

I run metapost on the first file and (nearly) everything seems all right;
rent.1 is created and I can visualize it.

ThenI run in order mkiv, mkii, texexec --dvi, and mptopdf:

** mkiv output:
ERROR: Leaders not followed by proper glue.

                                                  }
--- HELP ---
No help available



** mkii output:

name: dummy
file: rent
state: unknown

** texexec --dvi output:

OK


** 07:23 jean@boldair /home/jean/graph % mptopdf rent      

MPtoPDF 1.3.3 : no filename matches rent


My context system from minimals is updated from tomorrow night (mptopdf
was slightly different but failed anyway before thet update)


Sorry if the question was already discussed here!
