Is there something extra needed to use mptopdf with only context minimal?
Experimenting with having just context standalone on mac osx:
Compiling with just mpost
or using a context \startMPcode wrapper works, e.g.:
beginfig(1);
draw origin--(100,100);
endfig;
end
works with command line mpost %
This is MetaPost, version 1.801 (kpathsea version 6.1.1dev)
(mpost.mp (/users/johnkitzmiller/context/tex/texmf/metapost/base/plain.mp
Preloading the plain mem file, version 1.004) ) (./mwe.mp [1] )
1 output file written: mwe.1
Transcript written on mwe.log.
and...
\starttext
\startMPcode
draw origin--(100,100);
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
works with command context %
But using mptopdf on the first snippet complains:

MPtoPDF 1.4.1 : error while processing tex file
(Note: I do not have TeX Live 2013 installed. The message from line 7 gave me
some hints and I created the directory and put mptopdf.fmt from a pdftex --ini
mptopdf command … no luck)
Turning $PATH off from ~/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin mptopdf % gives:

as I have been using. How to get mptopdf working from command line with just
minimals?
