I did just that, but running texexec on test.tex gives:

#################### CUT ########################
[JuBColding@apollo context]$ texexec test.tex
 
 TeXExec 3.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2003

So, what is wrong with my setup?


Thanks,

Well, if TeX can't find something it is looking for, run mktexlsr or
texhash in order to update its database.

Verify with kpsewhich:

pg@burger:~$ kpsewhich cont-en.efmt

(in a terminal)


the output should be something like:

/opt/context/2003.7.21/texmf/web2c/cont-en.efmt

Thanks a lot! That worked :-)

Jules,

On some systems, when you run texexec --make --alone, the format files are
put automatically in the correct place. On others, they're not. For
example, if you are on:

c:\temp

And you run texexec --make --alone, then the format files might wind up in
c:\temp and you have to manually move them to the correct place (In
Miktex, on my system, that's to c:\localtexmf\miktex\fmt and
c:\localtexmf\miktex\mem. Then you have to refresh the filename database.

Hope this helps.
