Problem building formats

Problem building formats

[John David Duncan]

Hi, I'm trying to install context using teTex.  I have the latest download
(dated 2000.03.30.10.12) and have unpacked it into my texmf/ directory.
When I run:  
	bash-2.02$ texexec --make en

The output begins: 

	TeXExec 2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2000 
	This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-13d-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.1) (INITEX) 
	entering extended mode

... but only gets as far as:

	loading : Context Support Macros / MetaPost Inclusion )
	! I can't find file `supp-mpe.tex'. 
	l.65 \input supp-mpe.tex

The supp-mpe.tex file is right there in texmf/tex/context/base/                
where it should be, with all the other files.  

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

JD

I suggest you also update to pdftex 14e! There is a pointer at our site. 

>	l.65 \input supp-mpe.tex

did you run 

  mktexlsr 

which is needed to (re)generate the tex file database (used in web2c).

The current teTeX-beta contains this pdftex version, else on Thans page
there are the source and some precompiled versions.

Or `texhash` which is a symbolic link.

By the way, why don't you use fmtutil? I found it more convinient to use
on teTeX. Try this:
texhash   # see above
fmtutil --edit # remove the `#' before cont-*
fmtutil --all

Using `export EDITOR=nedit` or `setenv EDITOR 'xemacs -nw'` makes sure
that your favoured Editor is used, instead of the the default (usually
vi or vim).

Tobias

unless you want: 

  texexec --make --language=cz,en --bodyfont=csr en 

Actually, texexec uses fmtutil, although in case of real despair, there is
texexec --alone which bypasses fmtutil.

I will updgrade, but that isn't going to be easy for me to do.  (I'm
running Mac OS X Server and I didn't initially install teTex from
source...)

Would the older version of pdftex prevent the following bit of code from
working?  Or can someone find another problem in it?  The interactionmenu
never appears in my document...

\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupinteraction[state=start,color=blue,style=bold,menu=on]
\setupbodyfont[pos]
\paperheight 20cm
\paperwidth 24cm
\setuplayout[rightedge=3cm,textheight=19cm,textwidth=18cm,leftmarginwidth=0cm]
\setupwhitespace[big]

\setupinteractionmenu[right][state=start]
\startinteractionmenu[right]
\placecontent[level=current,criterium=previous,alternative=f,align=right,
 interaction=all,before=,after=]
\stopinteractionmenu

Context is able to adapt the version 13.

ok

>\paperheight 20cm
>\paperwidth 24cm

wrong:  

\definepapersize[mine][width=24cm,height=20cm]
\setuppapersize[mine][mine]

>\setuplayout[rightedge=3cm,textheight=19cm,textwidth=18cm,leftmarginwidth=0
cm]
>\setupwhitespace[big]

ok 

>\setupinteractionmenu[right][state=start]
>\startinteractionmenu[right]

ok, given that there *is* a content

I have a chapter and three sections:  

\chapter[1]{Map URLs} 
 [ ... ]
\section[auto]{Automatically Created URLs}
 [ ... ]
\section[prefixes]{Prefixes and Suffixes}
 [ ... etc ... ]

Does that count as content? 

They show up in my table of contents (at the \placecontent inside of
\starttext ....), but no interactionmenu.
