I'm trying play with the statistical package** for metapost from Anthony
Phan. I found this strange problem:


This code runs fine:

\startMPcode
label.bot(btex Metapost and Statistics etex,(5mm,0)) ;
\stopMPcode

Also, this code run fine:

\startMPcode
input mps-core.mp;
draw fullcircle scaled 1cm ;
\stopMPcode

But this don't run!!

\startMPcode
input mps-core.mp
label.bot(btex  Metapost and Statistics etex,(5mm,0)) ;
\stopMPcode

You're missing a ; on the input line so it could be some read-ahead issue.

What can coming from the module "mps-core.mp" that
interfere with Metapost labels?

If it's a big subsystem there might be conflicts; anyway, better load like this:

\startMPinclusions
    input mps-core.mp ;
\stopMPinclusions

\startMPcode
    label.bot(btex  Metapost and Statistics etex,(5mm,0)) ;
\stopMPcode

because you only want to load once
