I don't know if that can help, but I had a similar problem some time ago.
Try
tex --parse-first-line --interaction=nonstopmode mpxerr.tex
to see the error message. In my case, it turned out that the problem was
format-related: latex.fmt had been written by pdfetex, but makempx was
calling tex instead of pdfetex. The solution was to add the line:
TEX=pdfetex
to texmf.cnf. I was experiencing the problem with gwTeX, though: since I
am using TeX Live 2007 I have no problem at all. For your reference,
this is the thread:
