I have tetex 3.0.0-3 with cygwin 1.5.20 on XP/SP2, and I'm trying to use Metapost, but it doesn't recognise beginfig, which is the first non- comment, non-blank thing in the file:
This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.5.4) (mem=plain 2006.7.16)
16 JUL 2006 01:55
**tmpl5x3
(tmpl5x3.mp
>> beginfig
! Isolated expression.

(
l.3 beginfig(
1);
?
^^@:0: Extra tokens will be flushed.
<to be read again>
(
l.3 beginfig(
1);
?
Some background which may or not be relevant: When I first tried to run
mpost, it couldn't find mpost.mem, so I created one using
mpost -ini '\input plain dump'
and then moved plain.mem to /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c, linked to
mpost.mem, as per the instructions in the web2c manual. I then ran
texhash so it could actually find it.
(end background)
So am I misunderstanding something - have I done something silly.
Where do I look to figure out what's going wrong here?
