I tried a fresh reinstall of TeX on a new install of Slackware. I used
TeXLive 2002 for the TeX install. Then I tried the same test file and
got similar messages.
I am now back to my original partition. I will wipe out TeX and
reinstall TeXLive, then update to the latest Context distro.
Two questions:
Do I also need to install the separate Metafun zip file or is this
included in the Context zip?
Do I unzip the distro in /usr/TeX/texmf or further down the tree?
