I did not think so, but better safe as sorry.

Is mpost run or not? Your code looks ok and generates an image here, so it

I tried to make it after running 'texexec --make metafun'.
It is still not run. I get:
systems         : begin file flowchart at line 3
(./flowchart-flw-1.tmp) (./flowchart-flw-1.tmp) (./flowchart-flw-1.tmp)sh:
mpost: opdracht niet gevonden

locate mpost gives:
/home/cecil/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-linux/bin/mpost
/home/cecil/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/metapost/base/mpost.mp
/usr/lib/texmf/doc/man/man1/mpost.man1.pdf
/usr/share/doc/packages/libSDL-devel/html/sdlsempost.html
/usr/share/pstoedit/mpost.fmp

Trying alias mpost=/home/cecil/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-linux/bin/mpost does not
make a difference.


For the moment forget about --automp as it only makes sense as speed

I read somewhere to use it when having a problem with mpost. And I do not
get a message when using it. But I forget about it.


- double check if write18 is enabled in the used texmf.cnf file

When trying to make the pdf I get:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/openSUSE)
 \write18 enabled.
 (/usr/lib/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx)
entering extended mode
(./flowchart.tex

So it should be enabled.
