Hello !
I tried to install a new version of context, since somebody suggest to do it (BTW I do not know how know what version of context I have ... running texexec --version gives me the version of texexec, I presume, not the version of context ... but anyway ... that not my sole problem, as for now).
So I used to have a version of context install by default :-) on my mandrake 10.1 distribution of linux ...
The upgrading of Context or even of pdftex is sufficiently
failure prone that I have given up trying. Instead I used the
latest packages from Slackware current and installed those.
When TeX live is updated again next winter I will upgrade to that
level. The instructions never seem to deal with the exact
configuration one is dealing with. Frankly I would rather spend
my time typesetting and laying out books. So I accept the newest
complete package that seems to work and reinstall. In theory I
could upgrade, in fact I am better off waiting for the next
complete distro from either TeXlive or Slack.
most linux distros ship old tex's and it's no secret that one cannot combine tetex with tex live without problems; it's one or the other.
an option with regardd to context is to download the linuxtex zip from our site and install an extra tex tree for context only and install updates in that tree (under texmf-local)
