AFAIK mplib is linked statically to the LuaTeX binary, hence it should be sufficient to upgrade LuaTeX. Binaries for various platforms are available at the TeX Live repository: http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive BTW, the problem you encountered seems to be caused by a bug rather than a compatibility problem. Obviously the comment character was ignored. However, it's fixed already in newer releases. > What's the easiest solution, short of "Update your whole > installation to the latest TeXLive"? Please note that in order to upgrade from TL-2011 to TL-2012 you don't have to install everything from scratch anymore: http://tug.org/texlive/upgrade.html You could probably install a newer LuaTeX binary into your current installation, but I fear that everything you do beyond the package manager's neck will cause trouble former or later. In particular, if your system is inconsistent, nobody can reproduce your problems. Unless disk space is scarce or internet access is slow, I strongly recommend to bite the bullet and do a clean upgrade.
