Hello,

There's something wrong in using (old)texexec/metapost on an input file named file.001.tex (I guess that 001 could be any number): the mp graphic is not generated. If I change file.001.tex to file.tex, it works ok.

I attach the test file used if it can be useful.

Yes, that's a known problem. Have a look at this thread:

Does it work with newtexexec?

works here; do you use the latest (new)texexec?

The problem appears only for the old perl texexec. Testing with the ruby one does not produce the problem. I guess it's a problem with the OS: in the thread the problem occured on OS X, and I've the trouble on a FreeBSD machine (and OS X is FreeBSD).

BTW, sorry for that stupid question, but is there a safe or recommended way to install and use newtexexec? For testing I only did ruby /usr/local/share/texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby/newtexexec.rb try2.001.tex.
