Hi,
recently I've installed ConTeXt and after all the complicated
configurations I could finally write my first chinese text, but as I tried
MetaFun today, I got very strange error message: I tried to compile the trivial
sample on the first page of "metafun-p.pdf":
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{dummy}
fill fullcircle scaled 5cm
withcolor red
;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{dummy}
\stoptext
I invoked "texexec test", after some messages scrolled by it stopped
and show:
!Equation cannot be performed (numeric=boolean)
local_multi_par_area:=false;
I traced to that line in the file "test-mpgraph.mp" which has been
produced by texexec in the first step and I simply deleted it, then I ran "mpost
test-mpgraph" manually and got "test-mpgraph.1" without any problem, but as I
viewed it with GSview there was only a quarter of disc, which should be a 5cm
filled circle. I've also tried with other Metapost files but got always the same
result: that line will always be added to the intermedia file. I think it's not
because of a wrong configuration of ConTeXt but something "deep inside".
btw. I'm using MikTeX 2.2, ActivePerl 5.8, ConTeXt is the newest
version while TeXExec somehow old (v3.1), but I don't think the problem lies
there because exept metapost the other part works well, for the
configuration of MetaFun I've done following:
I first edited the corresponding part of
/texmf/context/config/texexec.ini to be suited to MikTeX, then after refreshing
MikTeX name database I did a "texexec --make --alone metafun", it produced
metafun.mem in /localtexmf/miktex/fmt, I moved it then to
/localtexmf/miktex/mem
now I absolutely have no idea about it... I would be very thankful if
someone can tell how to fix around, besides I do want to know what's
wrong.
Best regards,
Minchao
