Hello,

I am new to ConTeXt and am setting it up on a Linux (RH7.0) system with
the teTeX distribution.  I downloaded cont-tmf.zip from the PRAGMA site
and have followed along the instructions in minstall.pdf.  When I get to

texexec --make en nl

(invoked as root), I get:

 TeXExec 1.9 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2000

Can anyone help?

Have you run texhash (or mktexlsr) before generating the format?

Re: Installation

Hello again,

Firstly thanks to David Antos for his help on my previous post: that fixed
one problem.

Again, following the installation manual I have run the command:

texexec --make metafun

with the following result:

 TeXExec 1.9 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2000

                 error : SetupPath set to unknown path
/usr/share/texmf/tex/base/
fmtutil: no info for format `cont-metafun'.

            executable : pdfetex
             format(s) : metafun

Evidently something is incorrect in the texexec.ini file. Unfortunately, I
don't know exactly what files (or kinds of files) the different variables
in that file should point to.  If someone could please provide this
information I'd be most grateful.  I give below the result of

texexec --verbose

Thanks,

Roger Mason

Hi,

did you update your lsr?

'texconfig rehash'

should do the trick.

It seems you didn't download a recent version (look at 
www.pragma-de.com/context/beta/cont-tmf.zip) or there is an older one on your 
system:

>  TeXExec 1.9 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2000

texexec is now at 3.2...

You should have a look at Bill's beginner's page (see link at one of my pages 
below or at "third" at pragma's) or mine, if you understand german.

2. pdfTeX is rather old. Try an 1.0(pre) release.

real bad news: looks like you have no fonts on your system!

Hi everybody,

I tried to update pdftex and context on SuSE-Linux 7.0, using the
tetex-version which comes with 7.0. After solving a couple of problems,
there are obviously some left. I hope, the problems exist due to some
path definition and some of you can help:

Running the following small test program

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
This is a test.
\stoptext

leads to the messages (reduced)
