Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply. You are right also in my minimal tree those pool-files reside in ..\texmf-mswin\web2c. The other point is, that the mem files recently moved to ...\texmf-mswin\web2c\pdfetex. After having read your mail I recalled, that I changed the setuptex.bat file, in order to correct nonfatal messages. Rereading that file I detected, that the file had to be changed on more places... After fixing that I was able to create the metafun.mem file.

So sometimes one needs an answer to get the things running again. Thanks Peter

Hi Willi,

I don't use the minimal tree (but something similar), so maybe I am wrong...

Hi all

Hm, I updated my minimal ConTeXt:
    TeXExec 5.4.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
    This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.3)
    ConTeXt  ver: 2005.06.27  fmt: 2005.6.27  int: english  mes: english

When running texmfstart texexec.pl --make --alone metafun
I end up with the following screen:

 TeXExec 5.4.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

! I can't read mp.pool; bad path?

       used formatpath : C:/NEWCON~1/tex/texmf-mswin/web2c/pdfetex/

                                                       ^^^^
mp.pool should be in the texmf-mswin/web2c directory (pool/mem-files).
In my copy it contains pdf(e)tex.pool, mp.pool and metafun.mem.

It seems that your $TEXFORMATS var points to C:/NEWCON~1/tex/texmf-mswin/web2c/pdfetex/,
but it should be C:/NEWCON~1/tex/texmf-mswin/web2c.
The fmt-files (pdf(e)tex.fmt, mptopdf.fmt) are then automatically created in the pdfetex-dir.

Hope that helps.



            TeX binary : pdfetex
             format(s) : metafun


I am also stumied, not knowing where to look...
