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

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...

Rats! Are there other cont-en.fmt and cont-nl.fmt files on your machine?
Run
kpsewhich cont-en.fmt
and let me know what you get back offlist.
By the way, what installation for TeX/ConTeXt are you using and how
did you do it? Did you run
texmfstart texexec --make --all
or (if you do not have the texmfstart stub working)
texexec --make --all
during or after installing ConTeXt? (You may have to begin these
commands with sudo.)

Unless you have a good reason for keeping it, try removing the web2c
directory from your /Users/matthias/Library/texmf/ and then
rebuilding the format files.
There has been much on the list about what people want in their ~/
texmf. Still, I find it much simpler to use it only for stuff that is
mine and not part of the ConTeXT distribution.

Then you haven't looked very carefully. There are two, one in your
private texmf tree, most probably unwanted. To get things going
again, follow these commands:
1. rm -r /Users/matthias/Library/texmf/web2c
2. sudo su
3. rm /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-en.fmt
4. texexec --make --all
At this point, try and see if your installation works again. If it
doesn't, you can either edit texmf.cnf or do this:
5. ln -s /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/pdfetex/cont-
en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-en.fmt
6. ln -s /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/pdfetex/cont-
nl.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-nl.fmt
7. texhash
5. and 6. have to go into one line; you probably can't copy them from
this mail. That should place the format in the right subdirectory. The

Thanks for the detailed instructions.
After step 4, I get the log file below - I then proceeded with step 5
an 6. Step 6 gave me an error msg saying the file
exists, so I proceeded, and now it seems I am having a working
ConTeXt installation.
Thanks again!
