oh that was stupid of me. :)
but when i run the texexec command what you suggested (texexec --make
--alone en metafun), i get:

so what i did instead was first run `texexec --make en nl' like the
instructions suggest, and then run `texexec --make --alone metafun'.
after moving the metafun.mem file, things work fine, except it takes
REALLY long to process a simple one-line file.
the docs say that things can take a long time if i made a mistake
doing installation. but i really tried hard to follow the
instructions to the letter. i'm appending below what a run looks
like. (i actually ran it twice in case there were caching effects.)
also we're still left with the mystery of why i had to run `texexec
--make --alone metafun' from the directory that holds metafun.mp.
another (smallish) mystery: the docs say to modify a file called
`cont-sys.tex' to set certain defaults, etc. but this file doesn't
exist. there are other files with different extensions. perhaps a
doc typo?
