I re-run it and have still the same result.

What's strange to me is that in both texexec.ini (tetex and local) the default interface
language is set to en. 
Is there another file containing this information?

Anyway, as I couldn't solve the miracle I moved to avoiding it:
by using texexec --pdf --interface=en

This works.

Hey.

Maybe the ConTeXt updater assumes the TeX-live 2005 layout. I am using 
2005 and I have no problems with it.

Just a thought,
Boris.

Hi Steffen. 

This is more of a MacOSX installer problem, but...

You didn't comment on whether or not your interface should or shouldn't
be in dutch (interface : nl).

Were *any* formats made? Do this in the terminal:
ls -l /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-*.fmt

I don't know enough about your setup to reach a verdict, so I'd say re-
run the config stage in the i-Installer for ConTeXt first, and watch the
diagnostic information there more carefully.

Gerben's TeX+ConTeXt packages: can't find the format `cont-nl.fmt' ?

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi,

in the past I could use Gerben's TeX and ConTeXt distributions for Mac without manual changes.

Last night I downloaded the "2004 stable" and Context-updater.
If I now typeset a ConTeXt file as usual (texexec --pdf foo.tex)
I get the following error:


 TeXExec 5.2.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004

            executable : pdfetex
                format : cont-nl
             inputfile : untitled
                output : pdftex
             interface : nl
          current mode : none
               TeX run : 1

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3)
 (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx)
Sorry, I can't find the format `cont-nl.fmt'; will try `context.fmt'.
I can't find the format file `context.fmt'!

           return code : 256
              run time : 6 seconds

        total run time : 7 seconds
TeX returned non zero exit status



What has changed? Is there something I've missed?
