updating to new release

updating to new release

I updated to the latest ConTeXt but now get the following error  
message when I process my files (using TeXShop as the front end, and  
TeXLive 2007):

ConTeXt  ver: 2008.08.04 10:10 MKII  fmt: 2008.8.9  int: english/english

language        : language en is active
system          : cont-new loaded
(/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex

FatalError      : Your format does not match the base files!

FormatVersion   : 2008.08.04 10:10 MKII
FilesVersion    : 2008.08.09 18:12

The updating process included

	sudo texhash
	 sudo texexec --make --all

so I am puzzled about why the problem occurs. Note:

	texmfstart ctxtools --contextversion

returns

CtxTools | context version: 2008.08.09 18:12 (/usr/local/texlive/2007/ 
texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex)
CtxTools | context version: 2008.08.09 18:12 (/usr/local/texlive/2007/ 
texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex)

Reinstalling ConTeXt  ver: 2008.08.04 obviates the problem.

There are really only two options:

a) texexec --make --all failed
b) the new format is generated in a different place from the
    old one and the old one is still found first.

In both cases, searching your disk for files named "cont-en.fmt"
should shed some light on the problem.

Best wishes,
Taco

Thanks, Taco.

After installing ConTeXt 2008-08-04, I have cont-en.fmt in
texmf-var/web2c/pdftex
and
texmf-var/web2c/xetex

Installing ConTeXt 2008-08-15 has the same files in the same places,  
though I gather that it replaces cont-en.fmt in
texmf-var/web2c/pdftex
with as
TeXExec | tex: 14/08/2008 09:34:24 > /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-var/ 
web2c/pdftex/cont-en.fmt (7381076)
would indicate.

ConTeXt 2008-08-04 2 works. All later versions do not because of the  
mismatch in base files.

There cannot be a mismatch unless

* the new format generation failed or
* there is an older format on disk that is overshadowing the new one

so if texexec --make worked ok, you must have an obsolete cont-en.fmt
somewhere.

Best wishes,
Taco
