So when producing a pdf I get the Error 768, log attached, everything else I do seems to work as normal
The erros seems to be that instead of getting (./mptextmp.mp) (./mptextmp.mp) (./mptextmp.mp) you get this: (./mptextmp.mp
mptextmp.mp mptextmp.mpx ! Unable to make mpx file. l.2 btex \mainfont 0 etex The two files given above are one of your source files and an auxiliary file I need to read to find out what your btex..etex blocks mean. If you don't know why I had trouble, try running it manually through MPtoTeX, TeX, and DVItoMP
So ./mptextmp.mp is falling over. I failed to work out from peering at the sources exactly what the metpost command therion issues is, and thus how to test it manually. I did notice whilst investigating that thmpost.cxx is nothing but a massive const char * string defintion of the whole metapost file, which seems pretty crufty. This is presumably the very old bring 'inline' of the tex and metpost stuff to avoid issue with Windows people having files missing/not found. I would like to understand how this stuff works, for debug and also for considering whether it is worth undoing so that the files can be placed more normally/correctly in the Debian packaging.
