And here is template.tex:
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\startstandardmakeup
%\input title.tex
\stopstandardmakeup
\completecontent
%\input preface.tex
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
Hello world.
%\input body.tex
\stopbodymatter
\startbackmatter
\completeindex
\stopbackmatter
\stoptext
Tried running it as a plain texexec (MKII) file and got
this message:
bash-4.1$ texexec template.tex
MTXrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized
in 0.09 seconds
/usr/local/texlive/2010/../texmf-
local/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:8:in `require': no
such file to load -- ftools (LoadError)
from /usr/local/texlive/2010/../texmf-
local/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:8:in `<main>'
I have a standard texlive 2010 installation. I have been
able to run ordinary tex, pdftex etc. files before today.
I also was able to run Context files without a problem.
I will switch to an old partition that has no minimals
installation and see if that will fly on the same file.
