So, first generate the xetex format: texexec --make --all --xetex Then, check where the format has been written (perhaps /var/lib/texmf/web2c/xetex/cont-en.fmt). Update the lsr-database: mktexlsr Check, if at least kpsewhich finds the format: kpsewhich -engine xetex cont-en.fmt It should find the same file, that you've just generated before. Then, you should be able to compile "Hello world!".
