Some beta's back, the following was working. -------------------------- \startMPrun \input test.mp \stopMPrun \starttext \externalfigure[test.1][width=15mm] \stoptext -------------------------- with ----------test.mp--------- beginfig(1) draw (0,0) -- (1cm,1cm); endfig; end -------------------------- Now, I get the error (figures : figure test.1 can not be found) with ConTeXt ver: 2006.09.17
Can someone verify this error please or is there something wrong with my code? Wolfgang

The figure file is not found here as well (2006.08.08). But if I change it to: \startMPrun \input test.mp \stopMPrun \starttext \externalfigure[w-mprun.1][width=15mm] \stoptext then there's no problem (w.tex was the source file, hence the w-mprun). -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

Dear Sirs, In my laptop I have the Suse linux 9.3. This distro has tetex 3, but I intend to update conTeXt . I tried already some ways, but without success: download an install (unpack and texexec --make --all) cont-tmf in the texmf directory, using texlive.spm (but I found a rsync time out error). I need urgently to make the update, but I do not know as to make it. Suggestions are welcome. Jorge

For such questions, please search the wiki first: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linux_Installation Thomas On Sep 25, 2006, at 11:09 AM, batela wrote:

For "I urgently need to use new ConTeXt" the easiest way to explain is to download http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/justtex.zip http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/linuxtex.zip unzip them and then use cd tex . setuptex texexec --make --all and then compile your documents (from the same shell). But what exactly goes wrong if you overwrite your old files in "texmf" with the new ones from http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/beta/cont-tmf.zip and then try to run "texexec --make --all"? Missing environmental variables perhaps? There are many "Installation" pages on the wiki, so if they don't suit it's best to update them/add information about other possibilities and systems. Mojca

Thanks Hans, that was stupid me. Still it is not solved. Now I get the messagage test.1 is not found. In the log however I see, that a file testMPrun-mprun.1 is written. If the test file is altered in such a way that this testMPrun-mprun.1 file should be loaded, I still get the message, that this file is not found. -- ? Willi Hans Hagen wrote:
