Hi Patrick, PG> But unzipping it on top of the texlive was not the very best idea I'd PG> guess. The directory structure has changed a bit with respect to the PG> location of scripts and metapost files, so your old texlive metafun PG> macros will be used. that is explaining the situation. But for an end-user (i try to keep myself on that level) it is *not* very convenient left with this situation (not knowing it exists in the first place) I guess i have to uninstall the present pftex and start from scratch. Which one is the best option to get Context,metafun,xml working? And i would like to have a similar working set on my OSX laptop too. Where are the experts ? :-) Also, i find the live context garden very helpful, as you can check a script independent form your own location. Hints for improvement: 1. provide an e-mail response for hints/remarks/questions. 2. the 'reset form' switch doesn't work. 3. some kind of summary (e.g. the real errors) of the log file would be very helpful. at present you have to parse the output yourself and have to locate the error yourself (e.g. too much is just info) thanks! % floris ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

h. I just want to use context with the metafun and xml features.

PG> There is no way to update this automaticalliy. i think i got lost in the trees... i got the update from pragma-ade.com, unzipped the files in c:\texlive\texmf i did run the texexec --make but i still have texexec 4.0 running... the texexec.exe doesn't seem to find the most recent version. i know i'm doing something unintentionally (may that be a lesson to you :-) yet how do i get out? thanks! //f ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

i guess it might have to do with the versions of the programs
involved. below you see the output of my version and the contextgarden

i got my LiveTex last week from the web. Any idea how to

Once, I had a similar problem: modifications in the embedded MetaFun code did not show up in the pdf or ps file, even after 4 or 5 texexec runs. The solution was, to delete all temporary files (*.mp *.tuo *.tui etc).

i did, but it has side-effects...
it will scale, but the color disappears too.
try.

Hi Patrick,

yes this works great. every change i make is directly visible after a
single texexec hit.
PG> Do you have write18 (texmf.cnf) enabled? How does your
PG> cont-sys.tex look like? What distribution do you use?
i use the LiveTeX PC version.
PG> I have (on live..) disabled write18, \runMPgraphicstrue
PG> and \runMPTEXgraphicstrue.
where do i do this?
in C:\texLive\texmf\tex\context\user\cont-sys.rme ?
and what do i type there?
Also i noticed a strange thing happening in the following file.
What i expect is a single line with a dotted label on each point of
the line. i see two lines, a single row of dots and two rows of
labels, one small one large...
You can tell that i'm not very good in telling the right thing to the
compiler :-)
but what should i tell?
