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).

How does one preserve all these for debugging purposes? some data is saved in a copy of the log file; alternatively, process the mp file independently:
texexec --mptex somefile-mpgraph.mp ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
