I put \runMPgraphicsfalse in the first line of test.tex. That changed nothing.
Do you have the metapost executable and format. Does a minimal metapost file work.
i think i have metapost installed: # whereis mpost mpost: /usr/bin/mpost /usr/share/man/man1/mpost.1.gz
Hans response on the mailing list write 18 is a hack and pdfshellescape a sane replacement in luatex it will probably be gone completely since there we have \directlua 0 { os.execute("...") } """
I wonder if write18 is necessary 5 years later.
You need to use MkIV to get the new features :)
OK lets try. I have installed the package context 2010.07.30-1 [1]
on my system.
I tried
texexec --lua test.tex
and
context test.tex
but both generate no pdf.
they tell me:
