Hi,
While trying to get some MetaPost plots converted to PDF, with the
latest ConTeXt minimals installation (MkIV) on my Linux box, things
happen which I don't understand, sorry!
First I run the command:
mtxrun --script
which yields:
MTXrun | TDS Runner Tool 1.26
MTXrun |
MTXrun | no script name given, known scripts:
MTXrun |
MTXrun | babel 1.20 Babel Input To UTF Conversion
MTXrun | base 1.35 ConTeXt TDS Management Tool
MTXrun | cache 0.10 ConTeXt & MetaTeX Cache Management
MTXrun | chars 0.10 MkII Character Table Generators
MTXrun | check 0.10 Basic ConTeXt Syntax Checking
MTXrun | context 0.51 ConTeXt Process Management
MTXrun | convert 0.10 ConTeXT Graphic Conversion Helpers
MTXrun | fonts 0.21 ConTeXt Font Database Management
MTXrun | grep 0.10 Simple Grepper
MTXrun | interface 0.11 ConTeXt Interface Related Goodies
MTXrun | metatex 0.10 MetaTeX Process Management
MTXrun | modules 1.00 ConTeXt Module Documentation Generators
MTXrun | mptopdf 0.51 MetaPost to PDF Converter
[more is output but NOT listed here!]
When I run
mtxrun --script mptopdf tobeconvertedplot.1
I get the following output:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010)
\write18 enabled.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt mptopdf.fmt
mktexfmt: No such file or directory
I can't find the format file `mptopdf.fmt'!
MPtoPDF 1.4.0 : error while processing tex file
By the way I've NO TeXLive installed!
Why do the MTtoPDF versions (1.4 or 0.5!) not agree, and why does it not
work?
Do I need to install other tools to get it working?
Regards,
Gerard Verhaag

This: "(TeX Live 2010)" contradicts with that:

I'm not sure. But before you have to be sure that you actually use
context minimals.
Suppose, that you have TeX Live 2010 installed here:
/usr/local/texlive/2010
and context minimals installed here:
/usr/local/opt/context
Then run terminal (konsole, gnome-terminal, xterm, urxvt, ...) and
do
$ . /usr/local/opt/context/tex/setuptex
and _after_ that run
$ mtxrun ...
If you still get an error something is really broken.

Hi,
No I haven't installed TeXLive2010, only ConTeXt minimals!

Sorry, I wasn't aware that pdftex from context minimal pretends to be
from TL 2010 (or this is intentionaly?).
I tried
$ mptopdf graph1_mp.mp
and saw only file name echoed.
The 'mptopdf' script contains
mtxrun --script base "$@"
Sorry for noise.

Dear Vladimir,
after processing your file graph1_mp.mp by typing
$mpost graph1_mp.mp (or: mp graph1_mp.mp)
you should get a file graph1_mp.1 (if the figure is numbered by
beginfig(1) ).
Then you can convert this file by typing
$mptopdf graph1_mp.1
Greetings
Albrecht

We could have modified the string, but we don't. We simply take what's
in pdfTeX source repository. (Now we don't even do that any more.)
Most binaries for ConTeXt minimals siply come from TeX Live anyway.
