I downloaded the sources from sourceforge.net/projects/pstoedit. I had to patch them though. A don't really know how to issue a patch file so here is what I modified from what I found on the Internet: * file dynload.cpp, line 141: #elif --> #else * file cppcomp.h, line after the first comments, top of the file : I added #include #include It then buit successfully I it works. I send a bug report for the 3.50 version.

Hi, As suggested by Hans, here is an archive with the tex file I used for the tests and the resulting "-mpgraph" PDF file (plus all the logs and stuff). It looks OK, but when I use "pstoedit -f mpost" (v3.50 with gs v8.70), only e, m and c from the formula are in the resulting metapost code. I will try with pstoedit v3.45 later today. I use ConTeXt (MkIV) from TeXlive 2010 pretest. If anyone has enough knowledge in gs and PDF files (Luigi?) and especially enough time, could you give it a look please? Thanks in advance.

Re: [NTG-context] Does Makempy still work?
Thats what I figured out. I have the 3.50 version as it is the only I can build on my machine. All prior versions configure well but do not compile due to some dynload problem. (dynload.cpp:141:6: error: #elif with no expression).
