Subject: Bug in MetaPost
Hello all,
I originally thought that I had a problem related to WinEdt's handling of
MetaPost but further experimentation (install TeXLive and use WinEdt's
facility to switch between systems) has shown that MikTeX's MetaPost is
broken in some way.
A minimal example is
===================================================
verbatimtex
%&latex
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
etex
beginfig(1);
label(btex $x$ etex, origin);
endfig;
\end
===================================================
A pop-up error message is the result from WinEdt:
---------------------------
latex.exe - Entry Point Not Found
---------------------------
The procedure entry point
?GetWrite18Mode@TeXApp@TeXAndFriends@MiKTeX@@QBE?AW4Write18Mode@123@XZ
could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files
(x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\latex.exe.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Running from a command prompt results in the same pop-up. When its [OK] is
clicked this is what I have:
X:\School\Maths>mpost -tex=latex testmp01.mp
This is MetaPost, version 2.000 (MiKTeX 2.9.6500) (MiKTeX 2.9.6500)
(C:/Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/metapost/base/mpost.mp
(C:/Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/metapost/base/plain.mp
Preloading the plain mem file, version 1.004) ) (./testmp01.mpfatal:
Command failed: latex mpu69F9y.tex; see mpxerr.log
>> testmp01.mp
>> testmp01.mpx
! ! Unable to read mpx file.
l.8 ^^Ilabel(btex
$x$ etex, origin);
Transcript written on testmp01.log.
==================================================
I running Windows 10 and the 64-bit version of MikTeX. One consequence of
having to install and use TeXLive is that it seems to show up how much
faster MikTeX is :-)
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Geoff
