As I mentioned, created 'mpgraph.log' file has zero length...

Ahh, to late! Finally I decided to remove tl7 installation (just before i
recived your answer) and try to make an upgrade. So if the problem will
occur again, I will report it to you.


Thanks, Pawe/l

If you have the same system on both sides, I think you are safe. It
looks as if web2c systems can share formats if the web2c version
number is identical.
indeed and this is what makes tex live such a nice system

however, here i organize my binaries like

texmf-mswin
texmf-linux
etc because i often have more modern pdftex's on windows -)

good to hear.

that is really strange. If you are brave and experienced, you might
trace the mpost run with strace to see where the error occurs. 

Please post the logfile of the bad run.

This question was not silly at all. I am still confused by the
plethora of ways to run mp.

could you post the output of texexec --verbose and the logfile of a
simple ConTeXt file with mp code in it?

I'd like to know, too.

For TeX Live 2003, the last update of packages and programs was made
on 20 September 2003.  For the latest versions, please consult CTAN .
