Obviously, it can't find the mpost.mem file. Likely causes:

* There is no mpost.mem file
* It exists but can't be found due to missing mktexlsr
* It exists but texmf.cnf can't be found
  (this happens is the binary is not close enough to
  its texmf/ tree).

You can run

 $ mpost --kpathsea-debug=7

to see what files mpost tries to open

Best wishes,
