Failing on Mac OS X

Failing on Mac OS X

[Shivkumar Chandrasekaran]

Hi,

I updated my tetex installation from G. Wierda's i-Installer (to the 
latest version) and ever since my context files refuse to compile. The 
earliest error indication I get is:

ConTeXt  ver: 2004.10.07  fmt: 2004.11.1  int: english  mes: english

systems        : pdfTeX version 111 -> please update

systems        : eTeX version 201 -> too old (bugs)


But I do seem to have the latest pdfTeX and eTeX versions:

gimli:~ shiv$ pdftex -v
pdfTeX (Web2C 7.5.2) 3.141592-1.11a
kpathsea version 3.5.2


gimli:~ shiv$ etex -v
e-TeX (Web2C 7.5.2) 3.141592-2.1
kpathsea version 3.5.2


Any idea where my problem could be? Thanks,

--shiv--

current pdftex is something around 

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-rc7.1-2.1 (Web2C 7.5.3)

This is not critical (for most stuff?)

Please post the complete output of a simple texexec run. And perhaps
you might want to have a look at the macosxtex mailinglist.

etex has now version 2.2 (with several bugs remove, like the >255 
register problem) and pdftex has passed the 1.20 now

(what do you mean with refuse to compile?)

Below is the output when I compile a file with the following 3 lines:

\starttext
Hello world
\stoptext

I am using the latest TeX and ConTeXt from Gerben Wierda's i-Installer.  
I am looking into the MacOSX TeX mailing list archives for any hints  
too. Thanks for any help and the pointer.

Re: Failing on Mac OS X

[Shivkumar Chandrasekaran]

Thanks to all who replied, including Matthias Weber, Hans Hagen and 
Patrick Gundlach. The problem was fixed as soon as I used Expert mode 
in G. Wierda's TeX i-installer to install the 2004 branch (rather than 
the default 2003 package). I then used the ConTeXt updater i-installer 
and everything seems to be fine again.
