[tex-live] Error during format generation

[Philipp Stephani]

Hello,

I have two different TeX Live 2010 systems, one on OS X (MacTeX 2010), one on Linux, and on both format generation of the MetaFun format fails regularly. The tlmgr error is:
Error: `mpost -ini  -jobname=metafun -progname=mpost metafun.mp' failed

The file metafun.log contains only the following:
This is MetaPost, version 1.211 (TeX Live 2010) (kpathsea version 6.0.0) (INIMP)  16 SEP 2010 21:04

Since I don't use MetaFun, the error messages aren't harmful, but quite annoying.
