problem with new beta

[Denis B. Roegel]

Hello,

I have installed the new beta and ran it on an old file
which I believe compiled previously (though it has been a long
time since I last tried to compile it). The file now compiles
with 

   texexec test.tex

but with --pdf, I get:

 TeXExec 2.5 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2001

            executable : pdfetex
                format : cont-en

             interface : en
          current mode : all

? 

Is that normal?

Thanks,

seems like you run an old format with new files

Right. That's what happens when you have six different english 
context formats around (two in the standard texmf tree, two in
the texmlocal tree (from previous context updates), 
two on my own account...). I was also confused
by the extensions of the formats. Can you confirm that

  texexec test.tex

uses cont-en.fmt and that

  texexec --pdf test.tex

uses cont-en.efmt and that therefore both are necessary?

I first created the formats the old way, with initex cont-en.ini,
but this would only create cont-en.fmt. I didn't call pdfetex -ini.
And fmtutil --byfmt cont-en would only create cont-en.efmt. 
Why doesn't fmtutil --byfmt cont-en create the two needed formats?

Thanks,

Denis

just delete the old ones, saves some space too

hm. if your texexec.ini file is set up all right, all runs shoul duse the
same pdfetex and cont-en.efmt

I had the same problem -- until I remembered to re-make the formats...
And don't forget texhash (mktexslr) !
