I've been trying to install ConTeXt (ver 2005.08.31) within teTeX 3.0, installed from source exactly as described in
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation but have run into problems. Everything goes smoothly until I get to the section entitled 'Install the zip archive'. When I type 'texexec -make -all' I get the following error (after much other output): language : patterns da for da loaded (n=6) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/tex/context/patterns/lang-da.pat ! Nonletter. l.24 .s[ aring]3 ? I tried simply responding 'R' to continue running silently but when I come to the next step: cp -a /root/.texmf-var/web2c/* /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c The .texmf-var/web2c folder is empty, so nothing useful gets copied. Currently, typing 'texexec --version' gives me the following: TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997- 2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992- 2004 kpathsea: Running mktexfmt cont-en.fmt fmtutil: no info for format `cont-en'. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt fmtutil: no info for format `context'. tex : unknown context : ver: 2005.01.31 cont-en : unknown which indicates to me that I should start again from scratch. I have followed the instructions in the above-mentioned Wiki page to the letter (although I wouldn't necessarily know if something had gone astray along the way given the complexity of TeX/ConTeXt etc.) This includes: * removing the default TeTeX installation in Fedora Core 4 * installing TeTeX from the latest source package * installing pdfetex update * installing MetaPost update * installing Latin Modern Font update Could anyone point me in the right direction please?
