As far as I know this problem is caused by the old metapost macro files. Check this directory: '$TEXMF/metapost/context' and see if you have same *.mp files in this directory as well as in the directory '$TEXMF/metapost/context/base'. If you do, which I believe you must:), delete all the mp files in '$TEXMF/metapost/context', refresh the name database and regenerate the metafun format file as other people have suggested. Everything should be fine after this. Good Luck, Guo Maarten Sneep wrote:
Hi,
I tried to begin a presentation, and tried to learn from the best (Hans Hagen in this case ;-)
However, I get a failure with the minimal test case below. Some (I think relevant) fragments of the logs are included (sorry for the long mail).
I'm using TeXLive with a recent version of context (see dates in the log). Is this a symptom of updating only part of the setup? If so: what parts should I update to get things to work?
Some of you may recall that I had trouble with the pos fonts on teTeX a while ago. I switched to TeXLive and there it works. Will try to find out if the problem is related to Mac OS X or teTeX.
Kind regards,
Maarten Sneep
