This question must have been asked before, but I cannot find it.
Running texexec a number of messages flash by:
error in metapost run : syllabus-s-mpgraph.mp:397
Alas, al the intermediate results disappear, especially the mpgraph files. And of the metapost logs also one only survives.
In such cases I find it helpful to run texexec in an emacs shell window. Some unix/linux terminals can save a complete log of a session, e.g., "xterm -l".
How does one preserve all these for debugging purposes?
Once you know where the problems occur you can make simpler documents
to debug one problem at a time (also helpful when you need to post an
example for others to examine).
