This is quite odd. Can you email me the complete output of the command
up to this point? It probably either finds a file it shouldn't or cannot
find a file it should. I can only (attempt to) debug this from the
complete output, your report is just not enough. Just run something like
  "texexec --make --all 2&>1 > term.log" and wait a minute or so before
killing the task.  Please email me personally, not the mailing list.

Can you check wat texexec says just before it returns you to the prompt?
Mine said:

  used engineformatpath : /root/.texmf-var/web2c/pdfetex/


             TeX binary : pdfetex
              format(s) : en nl metafun mptopdf


         total run time : 35 seconds


Cheers, Taco
