In tex.rb

  def processmpgraphic
  ...
      if data =~ /output files written\:\s*(.*)$/mois then
  ....

However, if the mp file contains only one figure, the output in the 
log is

1 output file written: figures-axis.1

Notice /file/ instead of /files/. So the regex should be changed 
according. Then everything works.
