In such cases I find it helpful to run texexec in an emacs shell window.
Some unix/linux terminals can save a complete log of a session, e.g.,
"xterm -l".

Once you know where the problems occur you can make simpler documents
to debug one problem at a time (also helpful when you need to post an
example for others to examine).

some data is saved in a copy of the log file; alternatively, process the mp

texexec --mptex somefile-mpgraph.mp
