The relevant lines of the provided metaps.i are
static char setclipmacro[]= "/setclip {\ngsave"
/y2 exch def\n /x2 exch def\n /y1 exch def\n /x1 exch def\n newpath x1 y1 moveto x2 y1 lineto x2 y2 lineto x1 y2 lineto closepath clip\n} def\n";"
I don't know what happened here but this cannot ever have been
syntactically valid C.
