I'm using TeXLive2008, and I have just updated my ConTeXt for Chinese supporting using the file downloaded from http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip. I just unzipped it into texmf-local and execute the command: texmfstart texexec --make --all I think everything is OK, but the problem comes. The version of ConTeXt is still 2008.05.21 15:21: context --version MtxRun | main context file: /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex MtxRun | current version : 2008.05.21 15:21 I don't know the exactly meaning of "main context file". I think it should be the file I just unzipped into /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local. The version of ConTeXt should be 2008.08.05. Anyone can help me updating the ConTeXt? -- Hello world!

The problem seems to be the order in which TeX searches and uses the various TEXMF trees.
