I have had reasonable success. The problem that I have is in incorporating MetaPost pictures. I have used the installer by Gerben Wierda, Gerben_Wierda@rna.nl the release notes show; Versions in this installer: pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.3.1) 3.14159-0.14h-released-20010417 (with some patches) TeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159 (with some patches) GS 6.01 TeXUtil 7.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2000 and quite a few additions, patches and updates. Running texexec with the following command does not give me test-mpgraph.1 how ever many times I run the same command, or simply "texexec test" prompt% texexec --automprun test .... mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun test-mpgraph figures : figure test-mpgraph can not be found .... prompt% mpost test-mpgraph gives me test-mpgraph.1 and then runing "texexec test" again gives me the output file I want. The problem appears to be with -mem=metafun so I ran "texexec --make --alone metafun" which gave me metafun.mem and I put it in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/metafun.mem and /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/metafun.mem which was in a message from Hans Hagen. I just tried the local command mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun test-mpgraph and it worked Now, why doesn't it work in texec? Any ideas -- Nigel King, CTO PipingHot Networks
