Install again

[John Culleton]

I installed a fresh TeX installation form the TeXLive 
installation disk. I did the usual things, like convert  
Texexec.rme to texexec.ini, move texexec.pl to /usr/TeX/bin/
i386-linux/texexec, run fmtutil and texexex -make --all en nl 
metafun and the rest. I ran fmtutil --all and texhash.

Bottom line programs that compile clean and operate properly 
under my old installation (still available) don't do so under 
the new installation. For example the sample program d-en-all  
will compile without errors but the interaction is kaput and 
nothing shows up in the TOC. The exact same files in the exact 
same directory will however work when I boot up my old 
partition.

I did a diff on the two log files and here is what it shows:

I can of course change the path and use my elderly installation 
but I would really prefer to correct my new one.

Hints?

I have done the essentially same for SGI Irix and linux (at home), and
also installed pdftex-1.11b from source and a newer cont-all.zip.  I do
keep my existing texmf-local/context/config/texexe.ini.  I can't reproduce
the problem on Irix using acroread 4.

d-en-all works here (except for the missing graphics):

This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.11b-2.1 (Web2C 7.5.2) (format=cont-en
2003.10.14)  31 DEC 2003 08:11

ConTeXt  ver: 2003.9.26  fmt: 2003.10.14  int: english  mes: english

Thinking the problem might be with the 2003.12.18 version of ConTeXt,
I installed http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/cont-tmf.zip and rebuilt the
formats:

ConTeXt  ver: 2003.12.18  fmt: 2003.12.31  int: english  mes: english

I also checked the default texexec.ini:

$ mv  ./context/config/texexec.rme  ./context/config/texexec.ini
$ texhash .
texhash: Updating /user/gwhite/texmf/./ls-R...
texhash: Done.

The next step would be to compare "texexec --verbose" for the two
configurations, and also the contents of the .tuo and .tui files.

I downloaded, reinstalled, made the usual incantations, and added 
the command you suggested:
texexec --make --alone en nl

Now things work. Only the spirits know why.
