Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt does not execute MetaPost (in debian experimental)

Hi, \starttext % \systemcommandmode % (doesn't work here, i.e. strange ^ char with texexec and not defined by mkiv) \startMPcode draw fullcircle scaled 3cm; \stopMPcode \stoptext % (missing in your code snippet) Tested on the following ConTeXt minimals version on an up-to-date debian (amd64 unstable/experimental hybrid). MTXrun | main context file: /usr/local/ConTeXt_version_2010.11.26/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.tex MTXrun | current version: 2010.11.26 22:49 Simplest test: − Reported OK with "context test" − Reported OK with "texexec test" My experience is that it is best to use minimals, so maybe it can help if you give it a try… That's trivial with ./first-setup.sh (I usually suffix the dir name and use a plain ConTeXt symbolic link… just in case to recover a previous version if the new one… um… doesn't work).

Hi,

My linux is not Debian-based so I cannot help much further (but I have changed the title of this reply in the hope that more debian people will read it)

Best wishes, Taco

Something is wrong with your installation. Mkiv should have found a texmfcnf.lua at this spot. What distribution are you running?

the system is debian testing. i have the distribution packages installed for texlive and so on.

I got context from here: http://packages.debian.org/experimental/all/context/download

kind regards,
