I am surprised, but somehow the problem seems to be gone. In my cont-sys.tex I had \runMPgraphicstrue %\runMPTEXgraphicstrue Trying everything seemingly connected to metapost I tried diverse combinations with these macros either commented-out or not-commented- out. At one moment texexec started functioning. I was thinking both these macros were for efficiency only, or is that a wrong thought? Because the comment in cont-sys.tex after these lines says "% This saves some runtime,...". But the \runMPTEXgraphicstrue seems crucial. Would you please answer the next questions too: (1) Although my outer font is Lucida, these are used in textext (normal) but not used in textext($math$) where lm- en cm-math fonts are used; these mixed fonts make the pictures ugly. (2) I would like to have standalone pictures, as produced by "texexec --mptex" but then I do not know how to set the fonts. Is there a simple way to export the pictures from a ConTeXt run with embedded MP- graphics? Or keep intermediate pdf's? yours sincerely, dr.

Followup to my previous post (see below) I executed the code on the "live tex site" and, mirabile dictu, there it works. The difference I can see is a much older pdfetex (Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)) on the live site, whereas I have a newer one (Version 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)). Could that be the problem or must I dig deeper?
It is not likely that this is the problem, unless you have 'stray' pdfetex executables floating around (with different version numbers) in other folders.
It is more likely there is some interference with your pre-existing teTeX 3, but without the actual output and log files I do not know what to suggest as next step.
