I was wondering if you could give me some direction. I'm having this error message in doing metapost. ! Unable to make mpx file. l.78 label.bot(btex $\hbox{\sf Rectangle}$ etex, (0,-.6u)); I looked through internet and found this site, http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2002/000272.html which describes exactly the same error messages. Is there any solution for this? I didn't have any problem with exactly the same file before installed TexLive 2007. If you have some solution to give, I would appreciate it very much. --------------------------------- Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo! Mail Q&A for great tips from Yahoo!

I don't know if that can help, but I had a similar problem some time ago. Try tex --parse-first-line --interaction=nonstopmode mpxerr.tex to see the error message. In my case, it turned out that the problem was format-related: latex.fmt had been written by pdfetex, but makempx was calling tex instead of pdfetex. The solution was to add the line: TEX=pdfetex to texmf.cnf. I was experiencing the problem with gwTeX, though: since I am using TeX Live 2007 I have no problem at all. For your reference, this is the thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.metapost/323/focus=330 Nicola
