Hi Tobias,

After fighting with my tetex for a few more days, I followed your
example and created my own ~/texmf, where ConTeXt now is. I (manually)
removed the context branches from /usr/share/texmf, as root, and I
followed as closely as possible all the instructions in minstall.pdf
(stripped suffixes from perl scripts in ~/texmf/context/,
and I now get:

$ texexec ~/texdocs/framed.tex

 TeXExec 2.6 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2001

            executable : pdfetex
                format : cont-en
             inputfile : /home/tomasz/texdocs/framed
                output : standard
             interface : en
          current mode : all
               TeX run : 1

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00a-pretest-20011114-ojmw-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.7)
entering extended mode
(/home/tomasz/texdocs/framed.tex
Error: pdfetex (file pdftex.cfg): cannot open config file

              run time : 1 seconds

        total run time : 1 seconds

I have manually (as root) edited the pdftex.cfg which I don't think has
anything to do with this problem. Could this be a file permissions
problem? ConTeXt of which I am the owner? I think texmf.cfg is
configured correctly, from part 1:

TEXMFMAIN = /usr/share/texmf

TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/lib/texmf

HOMETEXMF = $HOME/texmf

TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

SYSTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFMAIN

VARTEXFONTS = /var/spool/texmf

TEXMFDBS = $HOMETEXMF;$TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFMAIN;$VARTEXFONTS

and of course I have run "texconfig confall" and "fmtutil --all"
repeatedly. Still, no luck.

Any help? Will be greatly appreciated, thanks,

Tomasz
