Thanks all, Taco, Mojca, and Hans!
I tried your suggestions and finally decided to install TeXLive with
ruby, which let me compile tex files and get pdf output. Thanks again!

  Also, be aware that the TeX distribution coming with your linux is
  ancient (most probably teTeX). pdfTeX version is very old and you
  might not be able to run the latest ConTeXt. SuSE distributes ConTeXt
  as well, although it's probably an old one.

  In any case you will have to update LModern fonts as well once you
  manage to do mktexlsr and build the formats.

  You might also experience problems with ruby vs. perl binaries.

  See
  http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation#Install_a_Latin_Modern_font_update

  and pay extra attention to "ruby scripts". Installing TeXLive might be
  another option though.
