Bug#561500: Metapost: segmentation fault while text is included with btex etex
Package: tex-common
Version: 2.03
Severity: normal
A metapost file with: *btex etex*, inside do not compile. No problem
without btex-etex.
I found that the error is coming from the following line of texmf.cnf:
----------------------------
% Used by makempx to run TeX. We use "etex" because MetaPost is
% expecting DVI, and not "tex" because we want first line parsing.
TEX = etex
----------------------------
because etex is gone. The command:
export TEX=latex && mpost logistic.mp
compile the file logistic.mp
(I got a font error from gv: undefined in /cmr10).
Description of the problem:
(I copied a file logistic from the Metapost manual)
----------------------------
~% mpost logistic.mp
This is MetaPost, version 1.208 (kpathsea version 5.0.0)
(./logistic.mp
fatal: exec failed: No such file or directory
fatal: Command failed: etex --parse-first-line
--interaction=nonstopmode mp691666.tex; see mpxerr.log

And gdb said:
