I just started the conversion of my presentation sheets to ConTeXt mkIV. As could be expected, some inconsistencies will turn up. However this one escapes me. What I am missing that \startMPgraphic results in ! Undefined control sequence. I thought that installing the minimals of ConTeXt-beta also installed the metafun module. Or has this one macro been deprecated? Hans van der Meer

Some further digging brings to ligt that my metapost files cannot be found by the luatex run. The following is hown in the log: mplib : initializing instance 'metafun' using format 'metafun' mplib : loading 'metafun.mp' (experimental metapost version two) mplib > mp terminal: ! I can't open file `hvdm'. <*> ...core : input mp-core.mp ; fi ; ;\input hvdm def init_pens = pickup pe... Please type another input file name Now that is strange, because looking into the ls-R in texmf-local I see them present: ./tex/context/user/metapost: .DS_Store .svn hvdm.mp mygraph.mp So, why is hvdm.mp not found? Other files mentioned in ls-R, for example: ./tex/context/user/context-user: hvdm-cas.tex hvdm-dvd.tex etcetera, are indeed found. By the way, why are all the .svn (subversion) directories included in ls-R? Cannot .svn/* be excluded? Hans van der Meer On 31 jan 2011, at 14:08, Hans van der Meer wrote:

That is a strange location for mp files, which are usually stored in $TEXMF/metapost/.... (and not in $TEXMF/tex/context/...). So, you should either move the files to a more traditional location, or modify MPINPUTS to also search in tex/context/ subtree. Aditya
