Hi all

After upgrading to El Capitan and installing texlive 2015,  I have a metapost (used with the emp package) problem :

Console gives the following error :

(./alg1fig9.texThis is MetaPost, version 1.999 (TeX Live 2015) (kpathsea version 6.2.1)
(/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/metapost/base/mpost.mp
(/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/metapost/base/plain.mp
Preloading the plain mem file, version 1.005) ) (./Algebre-1.mp
! I can't open file `mp-spec'.
l.9 \input mp-spec


Looking into my hard disk, I find an old file :

	/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/metapost/context/base/mp-spec.mp
	
and a new file :

	/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/metapost/context/base/mp-spec.mpii
	

For some reason, the suffix has changed.

Is it wise to copy the old file into the new directory ?

Best Regards

Eric
