Hello everyone! (opensuse 11.1, xfce)
I have the following problem, producing a figure with latex/mfpic. Running pdflatex for the second time, I get an error message stating that supp-pdf.tex cannot be found.
Reading pages like #465107 - texlive-metapost: missing supp-pdf.tex and supp-mis.tex - Debian Bug report logs](http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=465107), I downloaded supp-pdf.tex and supp-mis.tex from CTAN and put them into the ~/texmf/tex directory. This resulted in the exact same error message.
I have no clue what to do now. Thanks in advance for the help.
Here’s the output of pdflatex:

The graphics driver for pdfTeX needs `supp-pdf.tex' (and `supp-mis.tex')
to convert MP to PDF.
These files are part of ConTeXt and can also be found here:
CTAN:macros/pdftex/graphics/supp-pdf.tex
