Dear ConTeXt list,
I have been having troubles with LinearShade with ConTeXt for quite a while, even with the latest version.
Steps to reproduce: There is a test.tex at the bottom of this e-mail: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580447#5
Copy paste it into the ConTeXt Live interface at the ConTeXt Garden. Result is blank.
But what I expect (produced with an ancient version of ConTeXt, Debian version 2008.05.21-1):

Could you please let me know where things are going wrong? The mail has the log files attached.
You have a problem with metapost not being run. Search the contextgarden for write18 for the solution. BTW: You cannot use the contextgarden to check if you code is working. The same restrictions as on your system apply. Consider using mkiv as Hans suggested. Marco
