Error running compiling with ConTeXt MKII

Error running compiling with ConTeXt MKII

Hi,

I am new to context trying to compile my first few files. Last week I posted a message requesting help to which Taco responded. As a result, I reinstalled my TeXLive 2010 version and followed the post-installation steps in the TeXLive documentation. I have a demo file(attached to this post) that I wanted to test out. I used Texworks and ran ContXt(MKII) from the menu. Below is my result.
=================================================================================
  This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9997.4 (Web2C 2010) (format=cont-en 2011.5.2)  2 MAY 2011 12:11

Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
46 strings out of 459576
740 string characters out of 2586072
4495618 words of memory out of 7000000
38312 multiletter control sequences out of 15000+200000
7 words of font info for 0 fonts, out of 3000000 for 9000
304 hyphenation exceptions out of 8191
20i,0n,15p,163b,401s stack positions out of 5000i,500n,10000p,200000b,50000s

No pages of output.
================================================================
Before I ran this, I had also used the tlmgr to connect to tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 to get the modules from there.
Is there something I am missing to be able to get the result? How do I make sure that I am using the right format for a given document?

There is a chance that you have a version of cont-en.fmt file at some
unexpected place.

At least one of the following commands should solve your problem:
- fmtutil-sys --byfmt cont-en
- fmtutil --byfmt cont-en
- texexec --xtx --make

If none of them does, you first need to find a file
web2/xetex/cont-en.fmt sowhere on your disk, delete it and try out
fmtutil again (or texexec --xtx --make).

However neither TeX Live nor minimals contain taspresent module (which
means that you wouldn't be able to compile the file anyway unless you
manually add the module) and I'm not sure that I know why not.

Hi Majorca

Thanks for your hints. I actually used the tlmgr to add the modules from tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 which includes taspresent. I did try the commands you gave and none of them seem to work on my system. I may need to locate the web2/xetex/cont-en.fmt as you suggested.

Hi Ismael,

for starters, call texexec from the command line, not from 
within an editor, this will give you more info and will 
make it easier to help. Giving us the output of

which texexec

and

kpsewhere -engine=/ cont-en.fmt

might already be helpful. And don't use the taspresent 
module, it has been superseded by simpleslides.

Good luck

Thomas
