Hi, While trying to get some MetaPost plots converted to PDF, with the latest ConTeXt minimals installation (MkIV) on my Linux box, things happen which I don't understand, sorry! First I run the command: mtxrun --script which yields: MTXrun | TDS Runner Tool 1.26 MTXrun | MTXrun | no script name given, known scripts: MTXrun | MTXrun | babel 1.20 Babel Input To UTF Conversion MTXrun | base 1.35 ConTeXt TDS Management Tool MTXrun | cache 0.10 ConTeXt & MetaTeX Cache Management MTXrun | chars 0.10 MkII Character Table Generators MTXrun | check 0.10 Basic ConTeXt Syntax Checking MTXrun | context 0.51 ConTeXt Process Management MTXrun | convert 0.10 ConTeXT Graphic Conversion Helpers MTXrun | fonts 0.21 ConTeXt Font Database Management MTXrun | grep 0.10 Simple Grepper MTXrun | interface 0.11 ConTeXt Interface Related Goodies MTXrun | metatex 0.10 MetaTeX Process Management MTXrun | modules 1.00 ConTeXt Module Documentation Generators MTXrun | mptopdf 0.51 MetaPost to PDF Converter [more is output but NOT listed here!] When I run mtxrun --script mptopdf tobeconvertedplot.1 I get the following output: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010) \write18 enabled. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt mptopdf.fmt mktexfmt: No such file or directory I can't find the format file `mptopdf.fmt'! MPtoPDF 1.4.0 : error while processing tex file By the way I've NO TeXLive installed! Why do the MTtoPDF versions (1.4 or 0.5!) not agree, and why does it not work? Do I need to install other tools to get it working? Regards, Gerard Verhaag

Do I need to install other tools to get it working? I'm not sure. But before you have to be sure that you actually use context minimals.
Suppose, that you have TeX Live 2010 installed here: /usr/local/texlive/2010 and context minimals installed here: /usr/local/opt/context Then run terminal (konsole, gnome-terminal, xterm, urxvt, ...) and do $ . /usr/local/opt/context/tex/setuptex and _after_ that run $ mtxrun ...

Hi, No I haven't installed TeXLive2010, only ConTeXt minimals! Regards, Gerard Verhaag

Hi,
No I haven't installed TeXLive2010, only ConTeXt minimals! Sorry, I wasn't aware that pdftex from context minimal pretends to be from TL 2010 (or this is intentionaly?).
I tried $ mptopdf graph1_mp.mp and saw only file name echoed. The 'mptopdf' script contains mtxrun --script base "$@" Sorry for noise. --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offence. -- Edsger W.

Dear Vladimir, after processing your file graph1_mp.mp by typing $mpost graph1_mp.mp (or: mp graph1_mp.mp) you should get a file graph1_mp.1 (if the figure is numbered by beginfig(1) ). Then you can convert this file by typing $mptopdf graph1_mp.1 Greetings Albrecht On Mon, 10 Jan 2011, Vladimir Lomov wrote:

We could have modified the string, but we don't. We simply take what's in pdfTeX source repository. (Now we don't even do that any more.) Most binaries for ConTeXt minimals siply come from TeX Live anyway. Mojca
