Greetings all,
I'm a LaTeXer who is intrigued by ConTeXt. I'm running Mac OS 10.3,
using Gerben Wierda's i-Installer, and have been receiving some error
messages with my first attempts that a little searching-around haven't
been clarified. Without the latest ConTeXt update from the i-Installer,
for a file like:
\starttext
Hello there.
\stoptext
when run with texexec =
texexec Condy.tex

Sorry, I can't find the format `cont-en.fmt'; will try `context.fmt'.

I can't find the format file `context.fmt'!

With the update, I get =

I'd appreciate any advice you can give, and perhaps I won't even have

Hello David,
It looks like you have unpacked the updated files, but have not
regenerated the format files. I'm not sure how to do that under
OsX, but a linux user would type:
$ su
# texexec --make --all
Hope this helps.
Greetings, Taco

this is the result of the transition from low level dutch to low level english,
it looks like your cont.sys.tex does not match the version of context;
interestingly it looks like a new cont-sys and an old context;
is it possible to de-install and re-install?
Hans
