recognise metapost</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><SPAN class=gmail_quote><BR></SPAN>
<DIV>HI,<BR><BR><SPAN> I installed WinEdt5 containing Miktex 2.4 in a
computer. Almost everything went well, except that: <BR><BR>When I
pressed mp <A title="http://foo.mp (http://foo.mp/)"
onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://foo.mp/"
target=_blank>foo.mp</A> it created an empty foo.1, so I could not
<BR> proceed in getting the figure.<BR><BR> The log report said:
Emergency stop<BR> Endfig -> scantokens.extra_endfig:
shipit:<BR>
endgroup <BR><BR> I am not used to the options provided by WinEdt team
and I could not see<BR> from the Wizard how to proceed.<BR><BR>I had a
similar problem in a different computer and I succeeded to overcome it<BR>by
doing two things: <BR><BR>1. <BR>In some configuration file, whose name I do
not remember, I added<BR>"assign" to GS version 8.11 (because that filed
called assign GS to an earlier<BR>version). <BR><BR>2. <BR>After that I
pressed some kind of update taken from somewhere in the
Wizard. <BR><BR>I do not know why that worked, but it did. Can you
advise and tell me the name of the metapost file in which
"assign" to GS is stated?<BR><BR>Can you tell me which
"update" forces winedt to recognize meatpost? <BR><BR>Let me add that in the
computer that works, I can only process the metapost<BR>file via the
path: mp to <A href="http://foo.ps">foo.ps</A> -> TeX using
epsf -> dvi to ps -> dvi to pdf.<BR>Using Tex to pdf directly, or dvi 2
pdf does not work. Obviously something is wrong in my
<BR>installation.<BR><BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR> Michael
Maschler<BR><BR> p.s.,<BR> I am using Ghostscript gs8.11 in C:\gs
and Ghost view in<BR> c:\Ghostgum\gsview\gvwgs32.exe, version
4.5.<BR></SPAN><BR><BR><BR><BR clear=all><BR><BR></DIV><BR clear=all><BR>--
