no that results in an empty page. aren't the formats generated when i run first-setup.sh?
They do, so I am guessing that something is going wrong. Can you try by redownloading first-setup.sh afresh and trying again?
I seriously think that something is wrong with luatex formats (if I remember correctly due to seemingly different paths).
Hans, would it be possible to generate metafun format on the fly, the same way as luatex format? That would be the best solution.
in tex.rb patch aroun dline 678:
else report("unable to make format due to lack of permissions") texformatpath = '' setvariable('error','no permissions to write') end if not mpsformats then # we want metafun to be in sync setvariable('mpsformats',defaultmpsformats) mpsformats = validmpsformat(getarrayvariable('mpsformats')) end else texformatpath = '' end
so, add the "if not mpsformats then .. end"
Hello Hans, Thanks a lot, but for some reason this doesn't help. I'll take a closer look once I'm back (in October) for both mkii and mkiv. Mojca PS: I don't dare to claim anything, but from my faint memories I think that metafun format doesn't regenerate once a new version of metapost comes out (I may be wrong, I would need to test, this really happens in extremely rare cases). For mkii the above solution doesn't work in circumstances where I expected it to work (or maybe I don't understand how it's supposed to work), but I'll try to check later. PPS: I need to test for the behaviour being claimed in this mail; once I'm back.
