For simplicity's sake, the relevant commands are normally hidden. Taco - Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo! Mail Q&A for great tips from Yahoo!

Still it says "command failed" as you can see below.

Re: [NTG-context] ntg-context Digest, Vol 34, Issue 14
Hi Tako, thank you for your response. There is nothing in mpxerr.log. When I was trying to use mptopdf to convert mp file to pdf, it didn't produce myfile-1.pdf... type files, even though it said it was converted. So, I looked up this manual http://tex.aanhet.net/context/mirror/general/sources/mptopdf.pdf and typed "pdftex --ini mptopdf" at command prompt without understanding. Magically, it produced pdf files, but now metapost doesn't work. Maybe, the process "pdftex --ini mptopdf" had changed the path of metapost execution.

It looks like the 'normal' latex command in your path has a problem with something, that does not happen with the executable in texlive's bin directory.

Could someone give some help for me? If I do metapost I have an error message: this is the exact error message C:\Han\slide>mpost --tex=latex 2MS6 This is MetaPost, Version 0.993 (Web2C 7.5.6) (2MS6.mpmakempx: Command failed: mpto -tex 2MS6.mp >> 2MS6.mp >> 2MS6.mpx !

But if I set the path "path c:\TexLive2007\bin\win32" at prompt command and then do metapost, then it is O.K. (no error message) as I copied below.

I have to set the path again whenever I turn on the PC. This all problem started after I did mptopdf.ini Can anyone give some insight for me? Thank you in advance. - Finding fabulous fares is fun.

Re: [NTG-context] ! Unable to make mpx file.
I was wondering if you could give me some direction. I'm having this error message in doing metapost. ! Unable to make mpx file. l.78 label.bot(btex $\hbox{\sf Rectangle}$ etex, (0,-.6u)); I looked through internet and found this site, http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2002/000272.html which describes exactly the same error messages. Is there any solution for this? I didn't have any problem with exactly the same file before installed TexLive 2007. If you have some solution to give, I would appreciate it very much. - Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo! Mail Q&A for great tips from Yahoo! Answers users. - Expecting?
