Re: Installation problem

["Thomas A. Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

cont-en.efmt is a format file that ConTeXt need to run. In order for 
this file to be built, run

texexec --make en de nl

This will create English, Dutch, and German formats (see minstall.pdf, 
p. 6-8). Depending on where and how you installed, you'll need to run 
it as root.

All best
