This means that you have not the package asymptote installed, or if
you have, its executable is not called asy. You need to install the
package to produce the figure with the BZ path. If you have the 
package installed you can change the command used to call it by setting
the input variable asymptote_command.

This message is instead produced by the recent versions of gnuplot and
it is harmless.
