mptopdf Problem in TeXworks

Post by randall »

Hi,

I have a problem with TeXworks. When I compile (pdflatex+MakeIndex+BibTeX) my file, TeXworks tries to find a package mptopdf, but that's not available on CTAN. Therefore pdflatex will wait until the time limit is reached which takes some time. However, the output is completely ok.

The problem is related to Finnish language, because this problem does not occur when I compile a file written in English.

Can anyone give suggestions how to overcome this problem?

mptopdf is a script from the context package and should
be available on every TeX distribution!

Thanks for the reply. I got the problem resolved somehow, i.e. I have no idea what I did, but now it's working. I think somehow my miktex was badly installed, because I was also having problems with TCX, but this time with graphicx package.
