Hello Walter,
tetex is perhaps not enough. Did you install te_cont, te_etex and te_pdf?
Especially te_cont!
Cheers, Peter

Hello World \end

would be Knuthian; this works ok in context, but, in many cases multiple 
passes are needed and this triggered by \starttext .. \stoptext

Hi patrick,
just to explain WHY i got confused. I was looking at knuth.tex as a simple
example. An *this* example contains no \startX or \stopX . So i got the
impression that contex may not need them.
And when you see the examples in  "typesetting flow charts" no hint either.
It would enought to add
\starttext
\FLOWchart[grid]
\stoptext
on page 2. Then you have a (working) example; problem solved.

btw: any document describing something should have a complet working example.
when you start with something totaly new, you have no ide where to look for an
error. a simple typo can cause havoc distracing you from the real problem.

regards,
wh

Hello Walter,

You should alway start with a simple document and then extend it.

Which document are you talking about. Can you give the filename or
the full title?

If this is a specialized document: You should do some steps with pure
ConTeXt first.

Hallo hans ?
can you please adjust the "typesetting.." document ? So at least at start
it should have a full example.

Hi Walter

did you issue the following command at the beginning of the file:

\usemodule[chart]

to typeset the chart you have to issue the following command

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\usemodule[chart]

\setupFLOWcharts
     [option=test,
     nx=3,
     ny=3]

\startFLOWchart[grid]
\stopFLOWchart

\starttext
     \FLOWchart[grid]
\stoptext

>What is the mentioned "testmode" ? where i can see grid ?

When the option=test is set, the grid of the chart is drawn.

No not that I know

Other example:

\setupFLOWcharts
         [option=,
         nx=1,
         ny=2]

\startFLOWchart[Walter]
     \startFLOWcell
         \name {first}
         \location {1,1}
         \shape {singledocument}
         \text {Name: Walter}
     \stopFLOWcell
\stopFLOWchart

\starttext
         \FLOWchart[Walter]
\stoptext

This code works here....

Success Willi

Re: Re: installing context with tetex

hi tobias,
i run a vaniall SuSE 9.0 and have installed: tetex-2.0.2-48
There is no 'texexec':(

ls /usr/bin/tex*
/usr/bin/tex        /usr/bin/texdoctk  /usr/bin/texhash      /usr/bin/texlinks
/usr/bin/texconfig  /usr/bin/texfind   /usr/bin/texi2pdf     /usr/bin/text2sf
/usr/bin/texdoc     /usr/bin/texfont   /usr/bin/texinfo2man

ok i have created a texexec

#!/bin/sh
perl $(kpsewhich -progname=context -format='other text files' texexec.pl) ${1+"$@"}

that fails with 
sh: line 1: pdfetex: command not found

google tells me pdfetex is something like pdftex (what i have installed)
can i use that ?

walter

Try
  kpsewhich -progname=context -format='other text files' texexec.pl
there is this PERL file.

(Besides: If you have a newer teTeX you should already have a
/usr/bin/texexec (which is a shell script that basically calls
  perl `kpsewhich -progname=context -format='other text files' texexec.pl` \
       ${1+"$@"}
)
