Dear all,

I have tried updating ConTeXt with the result that any ConTeXt

document results in the above

error message :(

I have re-installed everything (I hope - deleted teTeX from /usr/

local/, and the ipackages folder

from the home directory, then re-installed everything using

iinstaller) to no avail.

I tried both the ConTeXt beta and the stable version.

Any ideas what's wrong?

Full log file is below.

Thanks,

Matthias—

Check the dates of the files cont-en.fmt and cont-nl.fmt in your

/texmf.local/web2C and

/texmf.local/web2C/pdfetex directories.

My guess is that the ones in the former were created in June than the

ones in the latter were created in September. If this is right,

copy the September files from /texmf.local/web2C/pdfetex to /

texmf.local/web2C.

That worked for me and I hope that it does for you too.

Hi Alan,

that's not it, but:

-- the files in /texmf.local/web2C are from September

-- I do not have a pdfetex subdirectory in /texmf.local/web2C

I can't locate any other copies of the files on my machine, either...
