i think i goofed up somewhere, from the link
http://www.ntg.nl/context/pdftex.htm i got
the solaris binary for pdfetex and there were a bunch of other files, i
put them where similar
files from teTeX that i have were present, and did a texhash, BUT this
is what i got

 spiff@seb2:/home/spiff/ConTeXt/FutzAround >> texexec test.tex

 TeXExec 2.6 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2001

            executable : pdfetex
                format : cont-en
             inputfile : test
                output : standard
             interface : en
          current mode : all
               TeX run : 1

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-14h-released-20010417-2.1 (Web2C
7.3.3.1)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

              run time : 0 seconds

        total run time : 1 seconds

i dont know what happened, was i supposed to run something else also

You must recreate the format files when you change the binaries.

looks like a mismatch in format and binary.

a call to

   fmtutil

or (leeting texexec do that by)

   texexec --make

or if that does not work as expected

   texexec --make --alone

may be a way out.
