Subject: newbie problems trying to build cont-en with texexec
Date: Wed, 1 Sep 1999 17:38:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19990901173853.A24240@vasili.rlf.org> (raw)
I had tried running texexec --pdf present based on a simple context example I
saw on the pdftex mailing list. I am running RedHat 5.2 with TeTeX 1.0-1 which
I rebuilt from the source RPM.
I got errors saying that cont-en.efmt did not exist, so I looked at the
readme.pdf and found that I might have to compile this using 'texexec --make
en' after fmtutil --edit to enable context for cont-en, which is disabled in
the teTeX RPM I got.
When I try 'texexec --make en' I get errors like this:
--------------------------------
...
line 171: inserting E-TEX code etex.src etexdefs.lib
! I can't find file `etex.src'.
l.183 \normalinput etex.src
\relax
Please type another input file name:
! Emergency stop.
l.183 \normalinput etex.src
\relax
No pages of output.
Transcript written on cont-en.log.
fmtutil: `pdfetex -ini -efmt=cont-en -progname=context *cont-en.ini' failed.
executable : pdfetex
format(s) : en
...
--------------------------------
etex.src and etesdefs.lib exist on my system under my /usr/share/texmf tree and
I ran texhash just in case, but no help.
I am very much a pdftex newbie, let alone new to Context, but any help would be
appreciated.
