OK.

With these hints I am now able to compile metapost figs from conTeXt through "texexec --luatex" normaly. To this end, I had to perform two tweaks: * the files mlib-run.lua, mlib-ctx.lua, and mlib-pdf.lua were *NEVER* loaded so I added to my conTeXt source file: \directlua0 { dofile ("/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mlib-ctx.lua") } \directlua0 { dofile ("/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mlib-run.lua") } \directlua0 { dofile ("/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mlib-pdf.lua") } * the format was generated correctly but loaded incorrectly: I had to add the following line: ini_version = false, in the metapost.load function in the mlib-run.lua file. Now everything is OK. The second thing (an misfortunate typo) is easy to fix. However, the fact that mlib-*.lua are never loaded is more worrying: any idea where this error comes from? Hope this will help Hans as well.
