Hello, I've updated miktex 2.8 to 2.9.

This file :

%prologues := 3 ;

verbatimtex
%&latex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tarassmetapost}
%\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
etex;

input Macros-nk ;

u := 1cm ;

beginfig(1)
z0=(0,0); z1=(2u,7u); z2=1/2[z0,z1];z3=(7u,7u);z4=(5u,0); z5=1/2[z3,z4];
draw
(0,0)--(5u,0)--(7u,2u)--(7u,7u)--(5u,5u)--(5u,0)--(0,0)--(0,5u)--(2u,7u)--(7u,7u)--(5u,5u)--(0,5u);
draw (0,0)--(2u,2u)--(2u,7u) withpen pencircle dashed evenly;
draw (7u,2u)--(2u,2u) withpen pencircle dashed evenly;
%draw (3.5u,u)--(7u,7u) withpen pencircle dashed evenly;
%draw (2u,2u)--(5u,0) withpen pencircle dashed evenly;
%draw (5u,0)--(7u,7u);

label.bot(btex A etex, (0,0));
label.bot(btex B etex, (5u,0));
label.rt(btex C etex, (7u,2u));
label.lft(btex D etex, (2u,2u));
label.lft(btex E etex, (0,5u));
label.top(btex H etex, (2u,7u));
label.top(btex G etex, (7u,7u));
label.rt(btex F etex, (5u,5u));
label.lft(btex $O_1$ etex, z2 );
label(btex $\times$ etex, z2);
label.rt(btex $O_2$ etex, z5 );
label(btex $\times$ etex, z5);

endfig;
end

give me .log :

This is MetaPost, version 1.211 (MiKTeX 2.9) (MiKTeX 2.9) (mem=mpost

! Unable to make mpx file.
l.27 label.bot(btex
A etex, (0,0));
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

The command line est mpost -tex=latex. What must i do ?

Thanks, Jean-�ric.

Changing

verbatimtex
%&latex

to

verbatimtex%&latex

should solve the problem. As far as I remember, this is a
=93feature=94 (or a =93bug=94, depending how you see it) introduced with mp=
ost
1.210, by which *anything* after verbatimtex and up to etex, including
any whitespace and newlines, are left intact. This causes some
trouble, because %&latex ends up in the second line of the generated
file (given that the newline after verbatimtex is not stripped out)
and the tex processor does not parse it. So, that directive ends up
being ignored.

You may take a look at the release notes for mpost >1.210 to check
whether such behaviour has been corrected (I do not remember now).

Nicola

Sorry, I have read your post too quickly. Actually, I am able to
compile your code if I comment the \usepackage{tarassmetapost} line (I
do not have that package). Are you sure that package is found? A look
into mpxerr.log should tell you what is wrong.

Thanks Nicola, the package tarassmetapost was not found, i try with

\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,times,mathrsfs}

\newcommand{\Calig}[1]{\ensuremath{\mathscr{#1}}}
\newcommand{\C}{\Calig{C}}

but i've got the same matter.
I'll see later the problem, ans try to solve it.

Jean-�ric.

Problem with a problem
Hello, take a grammar G with alphabet {0,1} such that (the word problem for) the language L_G={w in (0+1)*|w\in L(G)} is very complex, say in PSPACE or some higher complexity class. Now consider an "easy" problem EASY like: "Is an element of L_G in L_G?". Well, this seems to be fairly easy because the answer is "yes" in any case. Hence the problem should be of small complexity. But if one models such a decision problem one has to construct a language L with alphabet A such that the word problem for L reflects exactly the decision problem which one is interested...

METApost and PDFLatex Problem
Can anyone help with this problem getting started with Metapost and pdflatex? I can produce a diagram with Metapost and then convert it to pdf using ps2pdf. I can then incorporate the diagram into a Latex document using \includegraphics . The problem is that the diagram is A4 size, even if it is a small diagram, so I get a lot of empty space in my final document. I can reduce the size of the diagram by saying (for example) \includegraphics [height=60mm]{diagram.pdf} However, the shape of the space used is still 'A4 shape' (eg I can't have a square), and to avoid having empty...

Is this a BIOS problem, a kernel problem or a user problem :-)
Hi all, I have a Dual Core P4, which dmesg reports as (CPU0 and) CPU1: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 5 CPU 2.66GHz stepping 07 Unfortunately, it is also reporting CPU: Hyper-Threading is disabled I went through the BIOS (AMI dated 2005) and saw no option to enable HT. uname -a reports Linux hwa3 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Fri Oct 13 18:45:35 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux so clearly the BIOS and the kernel see the processor as dual core. Is there a utility to do this (enable hyperthreading)? Am I going to have to recompile the kernel? Is there a set of Intel dual core CPU's which does not have H...

debugger problem and other problem
Hi all! I gave it another try to upgarde from 1.0.1 to 1.2.1 from CVS (Rev. 6469). My system: Linux Debian Lenny, kernel 2.6.24. Problems: 1. the classical debugger doesn't show the code. First I thought it could be a color problem, but it isn't. Changing the color doesn't help. You can find a screenshot at http://www.apw-wiegand.de/apwlin/debugger.png. As you can see the debugger finds the code file and shows the line number where it actually is, but doesn't show the code. In 1.0.1 the debugger was functioning. 2.

Is it a know problem this problem? (an extension of Nearest-Neighbor Problem)
I met a problem which can be considered as an extension of Nearest-Neighbor Problem. Suppose we have n (e.g. n = 10) robots and m (e.g., m = n = 10) locations to explore in a 3-dimensional space. We want to assign each robot to explore a possible location, while minimizing the summation of the distances between each robot-location pair. If n = 1 or m = 1, it is clear this is a nearest-neighbor problem. What if both n and m are greater than 1 (n and m are not necessarily equal)? Is it a known problem which has been addressed by some heuristic algorithm? Thanks. This sounds more like an opt...

It is known that for some values of x and a, function g does not have real roots of x. In matlab, I use fmincon function to solve this minimazition problem with "interior-point" algorithm. However, even in situations where g doesnt have real x roots , somehow Fmincon finds solution. I want to determine which solutions have real roots which are not. How can I do that?

I'm sure a few of us with subscription would volunteer to test drive a pre-release version of your s/w. - I know I would. Wouldn't that be much nicer t...

Metapost : problem with xpart and paths.
Hi, I have a problem when creating paths which involve pairs created from xparts (or yparts) of other pairs in Metapost. Here is a minimal code causing the error to come. Remember that "x0" is the equivalent for "xpart z0". You can replace it and you'll get the same error. The strange thing is that you can print the pair p, but you cannot make paths with. The result of the compilation with mpost follows the code. Any jedis or padawans out there?
