Subject: Fatal format file error; I'm stymied
Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2007 22:38:09 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BAY128-W3E9452450A8AD06D641E6978D0@phx.gbl> (raw)
After many years as a LaTeX user I'm attempting to switch over to ConTeXt.
I recently upgraded my operating system to Ubuntu 7.10 (on an AMD64 machine) and got the TeXLive and ConTeXt packages from the Ubuntu repositories. I tried compiling a very simple document:
\starttext
Hello this is \ConTeXt.
\stoptext
using the command: texexec simple.tex and got the following output on my terminal:
TeXExec | processing document 'simple.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | writing option file simple.top
TeXExec | using randomseed 898
TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
%$-line parsing enabled.
(/usr/share/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx)
---! cont-en.fmt was written by pdfetex
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
TeXExec | runtime: 0.177424
Clearly something is not working properly and I suspect the incompatibility between
This is pdfTeXk...
and
---! cont-en.fmt was written by pdfetex
is the source of all trouble here.
Could someone please point me in the right direction to resolve this?
Thanks in advance,
Ernesto
