Hi all,
Yesterday I issued:
ctxtools --updatecontext
and everything seemed as usual.
But when trying to compile a standard file, I get:
...
ConTeXt ver: 2007.08.20 22:17 MKII fmt: 2007.8.21 int: english/english
language : language en is active
system : cont-new loaded
(/usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex
FatalError : Your format does not match the base files!
FormatVersion : 2007.08.20 22:17 MKII
FilesVersion : 2007.08.27 09:11
...
and it fails. I tried to go to all the steps described in the wiki (for
texlive install), no joy :-(
tia,

Try
kpsewhich cont-en.fmt
or
locate cont-en.fmt (after running updatedb)
It should point you to [something]/we2c/pdftex/cont-en.fmt
Remove all the .fmt files inside that folder
([something]/we2c/*/*.fmt): well, at least cont-en, you may leave the
latex format files untouched if any.
Then run
texexec --make --all
and try again.

Thanks Mojca,
But strangely I got the same message after rebuilding! Then I remove again
the fmt files and try ctxtools --updatecontext again; same thing again!
I also tried with another file, no more success!
?

Did you do the step of finding and removing all the old .fmt files?
On my system, fmtuil-sys puts the cont-en.fmt formats in
texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/ and texmf-var/web2c/xetex/,
but the context tools put them under texmf-config, so it
is all easy to end up with multiple versions of the .fmt files.

OK, things are back to normal now after I removed cont-en.fmt and
cont-nl.fmt from my home ~/.texlive2007/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex and /xetex,
I still don't see where this problem came from as it is not the first time
I did an update.
The files were not recreated by texexec --make --all.
Thanks

The format files in ~/.texlive2007 are generated by fmtutil --all. I
try to remember
to use fmtutil-sys --all so they go in texmf-var.

I doubt texexec knows about ~/.texlive2007 -- that was done so individual users
on multi-user systems could make "personal" formats without the need for the
intervention of an adminstrator. For safety you might want to
disable context in
the fmtutil configuration. I tend to do a fair bit of pdftex testing
so it is convenient to get the cont-en format when I build the others.
