Hello again,

Firstly thanks to David Antos for his help on my previous post: that fixed
one problem.

Again, following the installation manual I have run the command:

texexec --make metafun

with the following result:

 TeXExec 1.9 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2000

                 error : SetupPath set to unknown path
/usr/share/texmf/tex/base/
fmtutil: no info for format `cont-metafun'.

            executable : pdfetex
             format(s) : metafun

Evidently something is incorrect in the texexec.ini file. Unfortunately, I
don't know exactly what files (or kinds of files) the different variables
in that file should point to.  If someone could please provide this
information I'd be most grateful.  I give below the result of

texexec --verbose

Thanks,

Roger Mason
