Hi All,
I would like to use metauml modules with context, but context can 
not find it from ~/texmf/metapost/metauml directory. What the context
search path for the 3rd party metapost modules?

Thanks in advance.
Br/JL

The search path is defined inside texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (variable MPINPUTS).

Did you run
   luatools --generate
or
   mktexlsr
(depending on the mark you use)?

It works here, but only after I regenerate the database (which should
not be the case - files in ~/texmf should be searched automatically
without being present in the database).

Hi Mojca,
Thanks for you reply. 

It can found the metauml module after regenerating the database with 
luatools --generate
But it run into compiling error. For you convenience, append the
sources for mpost and context.

joshua@josh-dev ~/tmp $ cat activity.tex 
	\startMPinclusions
	  input metauml;
	\stopMPinclusions


	\startMPpage
	  Activity.A("Learn MetaUML -",
		     "the MetaPost UML library");
	  drawObject(A);
	\stopMPpage

	\stoptext

joshua@josh-dev ~/tmp $ cat activity.mp 
	input metauml;

	beginfig(1);
	  Activity.A("Learn MetaUML -",
		     "the MetaPost UML library");
	  drawObject(A);
	endfig;

	end


activity.mp works with mpost, but activity.tex failed to compile with
context. 

Any suggestions?

Best regards,
Joshua

I don't know the internal details of metaUML, but it could be the same 
problem as with MetaObj. See:

Hi Aditya,
Thanks for your reply, I just tested the sample from
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MetaObj_and_Labels
It can not work as well. 

Best regards,
Joshua

Hi Aditya/All,

previous email. 

Best regards,
Joshua
