So, you should try this command:
mpto -tex 2MS2.mp
tex-based labels in metapost are not simply created by one
program, but a number of programs called in turn. For
simplicity's sake, the relevant commands are normally hidden.

Try trunning
makempx -tex=latex 2MS6.mp
directly. Maybe that gives a better error message
Best, Taco
This is what I got:
C:\Han\slidemakempx -tex=latex 2MS6.mp
makempx: Need exactly two file arguments.
Try `makempx --help' for more information.
C:\Han\slidemakempx --help
Usage: makempx [-tex[=program]|-troff[=program]] MPFILE MPXFILE.
If MPXFILE is older than MPFILE, translate the labels from the MetaPost
input file MPFILE to low-level commands in MPXFILE, by running
mpto -tex, tex, and dvitomp
by default; or, if -troff is specified,
mpto -troff, gsoelim | geqn -Tps -d$$ | gtroff -Tps, and dmp.
The current directory is used for writing temporary files. Errors are
left in mpxerr.{tex,log,dvi}.
If the file named in $MPTEXPRE (mptexpre.tex by default) exists, it is
prepended to the output in tex mode.
There is one file called mpxerr.tex which contains stuffs like
\mpxshipout% line 156 2MS3.mp
$A$\stopmpxshipout
\mpxshipout% line 157 2MS3.mp
$B$\stopmpxshipout
\mpxshipout% line 158 2MS3.mp
$C$\stopmpxshipout
\mpxshipout% line 159 2MS3.mp
Does this mean anything?
Thanks,
Steve

Re: [NTG-context] ntg-context Digest, Vol 34, Issue 14
Hi Tako, thank you for your response. There is nothing in mpxerr.log. When I was trying to use mptopdf to convert mp file to pdf, it didn't produce myfile-1.pdf... type files, even though it said it was converted. So, I looked up this manual http://tex.aanhet.net/context/mirror/general/sources/mptopdf.pdf and typed pdftex --ini mptopdf at command prompt without understanding. Magically, it produced pdf files, but now metapost doesn't work. Maybe, the process pdftex --ini mptopdf had changed the path of metapost execution.

It looks like the 'normal' latex command in your path has a problem with something, that does not happen with the executable in texlive's bin directory.

Re: [NTG-context] ! Unable to make mpx file.
I was wondering if you could give me some direction. I'm having this error
message in doing metapost.
! Unable to make mpx file.
l.78 label.bot(btex
$\hbox{\sf Rectangle}$ etex, (0,-.6u));
I looked through internet and found this site,
http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2002/000272.html
which describes exactly the same error messages.
Is there any solution for this? I didn't have any problem with exactly the
same file before installed TexLive 2007.
If you have some solution to give, I would appreciate it very much.
