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

It could be that you still have and older cont-en.fmt on your disk
somewhere from a previous tetex or texlive. The separate 'pdfetex'
executable does not exist anymore since release 1.40, so that format
file seems to be a leftover.
Best wishes,
Taco

pdfetex is obsolete now; there should only be a pdftex binary
since ubunto is based on debian i assume that they use the same
packages, so i cc to norbert

I can confirm that context works fine on ubuntu 7.10 (amd 64). I
recently installed it on my laptop (fresh install of ubuntu), and
followed the instructions on the wiki, and it worked. So, the ubuntu
repository is ok.
I cannot help with the problem since I am still trying to figure out
the nitty gritty of linux.
Aditya

pdfetex with TeXLIve 2007, NO!
Can you tell us the LOCATION of cont-en.fmt? Probably there are left
overs in
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/*.fmt
Delete all of them, then call dpkg-reconfigure context

i attached the result to file cont-new.log
One news is I tried to begin from start again. I deleted the old tetex 1.0
directory and installed it again. Now I made no changes to the context
version (I haven't replaced the 1.9 version files which are part of the
tetex 1.0 installation) and the symptoms remain still the same.

you can safely use the new context files with an old tetex. Don;t mix up
old and new context files !
Use the latest texexec.pl and if needed set
$TEXFORMATS=....

Hi,
more interesting is if TeX knows about the cont-en.efmt.
so what is the output of
kpsewhich cont-en.efmt

so put the cont-en.fmt and cont-en.efmt (or, depending on your
language cont-cz.eftm, cont-cz.fmt if I am right) into this
directory and update the search path with texhash. (Do you have
write permissions for that directory?)
Then, do a
kpsewhich cont-en.efmt
(or whatever format you have copied.)
is it in the same path as you have described?

I have only the file cont-en.efmt in the web2c directory. I have no
cont-en.fmt file in the tetex tree.
Yes, I have write permission in the directory. Also I can delete the
directory and start again, which I did - unsuccesfully.

I'm getting this error when trying to compile any ConTeXt document. Since
I am using an alpha with tru64unix I had to choose the old tetex1.0
binaries of tex. Then I upgraded to the latest ConTeXt beta and started
getting the error. I tried texconfig confall, texhash, texexec --make but
didn't help.
Does anyone have an advise how to solve this?
Thank you.

that's a real old pdfetex.
can you try
texexec --make --alone en nl
and see what happens? you may need to move the efmt files to the web2c path
