Any ideas?
Have you recently updated your context installation? If so, something may have gone wrong there, I once had the same problem. Some files were moved or renamed, and is a standard reinstall are _not_ overwritten by the new version. Mixing and old and a new version is not a good idea.
the metapost code moved down one level (now in metapost/context/base) so that users etc can have files in /user etc as well
Hans I tried a fresh reinstall of TeX on a new install of Slackware. I used TeXLive 2002 for the TeX install. Then I tried the same test file and got similar messages.
I am now back to my original partition. I will wipe out TeX and reinstall TeXLive, then update to the latest Context distro. Two questions: Do I also need to install the separate Metafun zip file or is this included in the Context zip? Do I unzip the distro in /usr/TeX/texmf or further down the tree? -- John Culleton
