Hi,
I'm trying to setup Metapost on my computer using Miktex (version
2.2.6) but when I try to execute mptopdf.pl I get the following
error message:
<snip>
TeXExec 3.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGME ADE 1997-2003
metapost : G:\metapost\height
format : metafun
initexmf: don't know how to dump metafun
cannot make metafun.mem
I can't found the feault mem file!
total run time : 0 seconds
MPtoPDF 1.2 : error while processing mp file
</snip>
I tried already different things (like changing paths) but nothing
worked :(. How could I solve my problem?

Best regards,

Andreas,
First, type:
texexec --make --alone
and see what happens. Look in \localtexmf\miktex\fmt and check the dates of
cont-en.efmt. Look for a newly updated metafun.mem file. If there is one
there, move it to \localtexmf\miktex\mem.
On some systems texexec --make --alone will dumpt the format files into the
current directory. You must move them manually to the correct place:
\localtexmf\miktex\fmt for format files, \localtexmf\miktex\mem for the
metapost format files.
Don't forget to refresh the filename database and make sure Yap is closed
when you do so.

I can't find neither cont-en.efmt nor metafun.mem on my harddisk,
might it be there went something wrong during the installation?

could you please run
texexec --make --alone mptopdf
and post the resulting logfile?

cont-en.efmt and metafun.mem are not shipped with ConTeXt. These
should be generated during installation. How did you install ConTeXt?
