I have a fresh installation of ConTeXt on Ubuntu 11.10, straight from Ubuntu's repository (version 2011.05.18.20110627-1) but the mptopdf script seems to be missing, and mtxrun doesn't show any available scripts.

What could be the problem? I would suggest to ask the Ubuntu maintainer of TeX Live package. I can tell you that mptopdf is a different package in TeX Live 2011, but ConTeXt should have a dependency on that package. What exactly Ubuntu did on their system ... I have no idea. The developer is free to ask questions here, but in principle we cannot help you much unless some Ubuntu freak speaks up.

I thought that mptopdf was part of ConTeXt... to is it part of TeX Live instead?

It is, but in (original) TeX Live it is packaged separately, so that LaTeX users can run it without having to install ConTeXt. > Another question: when I run mtxrun --script I obtain nothing: > > [eposse@flamenco:~/Tests/latex] > mtxrun --script > > [eposse@flamenco:~/Tests/latex] > > > My question is: shouldn't this return a list of available scripts? It should according to documentation, but it doesn't work for me either. Most probably it was broken by accident and nobody noticed that since May or even longer.

It is part of context but as context moves on (mkiv) no user will use mptopdf as (1) mp processing is built into the core, and (2) fo rstand alone graphics the mkiv related context and metapost scripts can do the same as mptopdf.

I'm using it for stand-alone graphics, to be included in a latex file, to be compiled with pdflatex. In short, I have a diagram in mp, and I used to do the following: mpost diagram.mp mptopdf diagram.1 My understanding is that the .1 file generated by mpost is actually an .eps file, but pdflatex doesn't accept it, and that's why I used mptopdf. I do not see any options in either mpost or context that would allow me to do that. How could I use any of these to get a pdf? > Hans > > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE > Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands > tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com > | www.pragma-pod.nl > ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- Ernesto Posse Modelling and Analysis in Software Engineering School of Computing Queen's University - Kingston, Ontario, Canada ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
