which i used is *article* or *book* rather than
yours minimal,  and i do find reference on manuals or blogs
to support my choice.

i've tried it,  it halt when it first came to \documentclass, it seem
not to recognize the control
sequence.


I'm really sorry i'm not so familiar in looking into the metapost error.
