How to add metapost 3rd party modules
Hi All, I would like to use metauml modules with context, but context can not find it from ~/texmf/metapost/metauml directory. What the context search path for the 3rd party metapost modules? Thanks in advance. Br/JL -- Joshua Lee

The search path is defined inside texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (variable MPINPUTS). Did you run luatools --generate or mktexlsr (depending on the mark you use)? It works here, but only after I regenerate the database (which should not be the case - files in ~/texmf should be searched automatically without being present in the database). Mojca
Hi Mojca, Thanks for you reply. It can found the metauml module after regenerating the database with luatools --generate But it run into compiling error. For you convenience, append the sources for mpost and context. joshua@josh-dev ~/tmp $ cat activity.tex \startMPinclusions input metauml; \stopMPinclusions \startMPpage Activity.A("Learn MetaUML -", "the MetaPost UML library"); drawObject(A); \stopMPpage \stoptext joshua@josh-dev ~/tmp $ cat activity.mp input metauml; beginfig(1); Activity.A("Learn MetaUML -", "the MetaPost UML library"); drawObject(A); endfig; end activity.mp works with mpost, but activity.tex failed to compile with context. Any suggestions? Best regards, Joshua On Tue, 19 Apr 2011, Mojca Miklavec wrote:

I don't know the internal details of metaUML, but it could be the same problem as with MetaObj. See: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MetaObj_and_Labels Aditya
Hi Aditya, Thanks for your reply, I just tested the sample from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MetaObj_and_Labels It can not work as well. Best regards, Joshua On Tue, 19 Apr 2011, Aditya Mahajan wrote:
