Hello, I always push Hans to improve the documentation, nevertheless this is a problem of kpathsea library and its manual. I'm also sure all the ConTeXt developers read this list, so writing here is a suggestion:-). Just read your (I guess) TeXlive documentation about finding files. > Now, I have another problem.

What am I doing wrong? I think it's just the same problem. Do you have also about 15 mp-????.mp files in the directory? Does kpsewhich find them? (Run kpsewhich .) > Finally, could you answer whether I should have run `fmtutil --all'? This command rebuilds all format files you have configured in fmtutil.cnf. There is no need to rebuild e.g., plain or LaTeX, when you updated just ConTeXt installation. When you install a new ConTeXt, rebuild the ConTeXt formats cont-??.fmt or .efmt, an easy way is to delete them and to say fmtutil --missing. texexec --make would do the same. On the other hand, texexec is able to include custom configurations, you must use the --alone switch to make it ignore the fmtutil.cnf settings. The texexec script is also useful on systems that have no own format utility. I was also confused in the beginning :-) D.A.
