Message-ID: <e4277a763a4387684165bce07582a4fe@princeton.edu> (raw)

I just updated to the latest versions of teTeX and ConTeXt via Gerben’s  
i-installer and now, when I run a file through ConTeXt, I get the  
following report:
________________________________
TeXExec 5.3.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

  fixing texformat path :

             executable : pdfetex
                 format : cont-en

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
  (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt cont-en.fmt
fmtutil: format directory `/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c' is  
not writable.
Sorry, I can't find the format `cont-en.fmt'; will try `context.fmt'.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt
fmtutil: format directory `/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c' is

I can't find the format file `context.fmt'!

            return code : 256
               run time : 3 seconds

         total run time : 4 seconds
___________________________________
  According to the installer log, both cont-en.fmt and context.fmt were  
installed. I checked the list archive and see that two others had this  
problem about a month ago, but could not find any subsequent solutions.  
So, I would be most grateful for any pointers now.

Cheers, Alan
