Of course, I *never* make MetaPost errors... ;-)

However, you can search the log file for
metapost        > error:

Sure. But there is no line number. Compare with a typical TeX error:

tex error > tex error on line 210 in file /path/to/main.tex: ! Undefined control sequence

l.210 \sdkjdkjhkdkkjk

In the same line you see:

1) the type of error (tex error);
2) the line number;
3) the file in which the error occurs;
4) the error message.

For MetaPost errors, only 1) and 4) are given with the error; 3) may be inferred
(by tracking `open source`/`close source` lines). But I see no trace of 2).
