All,
I have recently tried starting to use ConTeXt on Mac OS X. I have had
reasonable success. The problem that I have is in incorporating MetaPost
pictures. I have used the installer by Gerben Wierda, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
the release notes show;
Versions in this installer:
pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.3.1) 3.14159-0.14h-released-20010417
(with some patches)
TeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159
(with some patches)
GS 6.01
TeXUtil 7.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2000
and quite a few additions, patches and updates.
Running texexec with the following command does not give me test-mpgraph.1
how ever many times I run the same command, or simply "texexec test"
prompt% texexec --automprun test
....
mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun test-mpgraph
figures : figure test-mpgraph can not be found
....
prompt% mpost test-mpgraph gives me test-mpgraph.1 and then runing "texexec
test" again gives me the output file I want.
The problem appears to be with -mem=metafun so I ran "texexec --make --alone
metafun" which gave me metafun.mem and I put it in
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/metafun.mem and
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/metafun.mem
which was in a message from Hans Hagen.
I just tried the local command
mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun test-mpgraph
and it worked
Now, why doesn't it work in texec? Any ideas
