OK, I regenerated "texexec --make en de nl; texexec --make metafun" and checked to see what was created: # for f in `kpsewhere -engine=pdfetex cont-en.fmt`; do ls -l ${f}; done -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6642152 Sep 30 16:04 /root/.texmf-var/web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6562550 Sep 29 15:21 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/cont-en.fmt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6562550 Sep 29 15:21 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/cont-en.fmt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6562550 Sep 29 15:21 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/cont-en.fmt So, today (Sept 30) /root/.texmf-var/web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt was created. So I simply copied /root/.texmf-var/web2c/pdfetex/* /var/lib/texmf/web2c/ "texexec new.tex" seems to run OK now, without error. I'll investigate further. THANKS.
