Hi,
While trying to get some MetaPost plots converted to PDF, with the
latest ConTeXt minimals installation (MkIV) on my Linux box, things
happen which I don't understand, sorry!
First I run the command:
mtxrun --script
which yields:
MTXrun | TDS Runner Tool 1.26
MTXrun |
MTXrun | no script name given, known scripts:
MTXrun |
MTXrun | babel 1.20 Babel Input To UTF Conversion
MTXrun | base 1.35 ConTeXt TDS Management Tool
MTXrun | cache 0.10 ConTeXt & MetaTeX Cache Management
MTXrun | chars 0.10 MkII Character Table Generators
MTXrun | check 0.10 Basic ConTeXt Syntax Checking
MTXrun | context 0.51 ConTeXt Process Management
MTXrun | convert 0.10 ConTeXT Graphic Conversion Helpers
MTXrun | fonts 0.21 ConTeXt Font Database Management
MTXrun | grep 0.10 Simple Grepper
MTXrun | interface 0.11 ConTeXt Interface Related Goodies
MTXrun | metatex 0.10 MetaTeX Process Management
MTXrun | modules 1.00 ConTeXt Module Documentation Generators
MTXrun | mptopdf 0.51 MetaPost to PDF Converter
[more is output but NOT listed here!]
When I run
mtxrun --script mptopdf tobeconvertedplot.1
I get the following output:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010)
\write18 enabled.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt mptopdf.fmt
mktexfmt: No such file or directory
I can't find the format file `mptopdf.fmt'!
MPtoPDF 1.4.0 : error while processing tex file
By the way I've NO TeXLive installed!
Why do the MTtoPDF versions (1.4 or 0.5!) not agree, and why does it not
work?
Do I need to install other tools to get it working?
Regards,
Gerard Verhaag
