problem with texexec

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1032 bytes --]

Hello,

I'm a beginner and I try to install context. I use MiKTeX. I read the minstall file and when I try to execute texexec I get the message :

C:\WINDOWS>texexec --make en
Missing $ on loop variable at C:\LOCALTEXMF\CONTEXT\PERLTK\TEXEXEC.pl line 788.

The line 788 of texexec.pl is :

      sub CheckOutputFormat

      { my $Ok = 1 ;

      if ($OutputFormat ne 'standard')

      { my @OutputFormat = split(/,/,$OutputFormat) ;

788   foreach my $F (@OutputFormat)

      { if (defined($OutputFormats{lc $F}))

      { my $OF = $OutputFormats{lc $F} ;

      next if (",$FullFormat," =~ /\,$OF\,/) ;

      if ($FullFormat) { $FullFormat .= "," }

      $FullFormat .= "$OutputFormats{lc $F}" }

      else

      { $Ok = 0 } }

      if (!$Ok)

      { print $Help{output} }

      elsif ($FullFormat)

      { print OPT "\\setupoutput[$FullFormat]\n" } }

      unless ($FullFormat)

      { $FullFormat = $OutputFormat } } # 'standard' to terminal

Is my texexec.pl correct??

Nearly. texexec.pl should start with the line

require "5.005";

Hans, fix this please, it's important.

Hervé, your problem is that your perl is too old.

Seems like a bug in ActiveState Perl (not unusual). You can try and download 
Perl build 522 from ActiveState site, more old but more stable, works for me OK.

It won't help if you really have 5.6. If you don't want to downgrade,
you can also try to delete "my" after "foreach", but I'm not sure that it is
safe.

It works fine with activeperl 5.6.1.623

Problem with TeXexec

[Michal Kvasnicka]

Good afternoon.

I have just installed a new Linux system (SuSE 9.1 with teTeX) and the 
new ConTeXt (texexec version 4.3) -- in the same way as older one. But 
it doesn't work. It writes a following error message:

    ...
    sh: line1: cont-en: command not found
    ...
    This is pdfetex...
    ...
    **
    ! End of file on the terminal ... why?

I do wrong? How can I correct it? I tried to link cont-en to pdfetex, 
but I've still got the second error message. Moreover, the system tried 
to make the format file.

Many thanks for your help.

my suggestion is to remove suse tetex in favour of  Texlive + (uptodate)
context

installation hints are in http://contextgarden.net/Linux_Installation
compressed Texlive iso in http://www.tug.org/texlive/
Context from pragma

try the mailinglist archive:

and
