Hi. I'm a new ConTeXt user. I'm installing over TeTeX. I know that
TeTeX already has ConTeXt support, but I want to use a newer ConTeXt
than came with my TeTeX distribution.
I'm following the directions in the ConTeXt installation manual.
I unzipping the ConTeXt archive, Then I made symlinks to all the .pl
files, like:
ln -s texexec.pl texexec
and made sure that all the links I made were in my search path.
I ran `fmtutil --edit' and saw that everything looked ok. But, when I
run `fmtutil --all', I get:

fmtutil: `pdfetex -ini -efmt=cont-cz -progname=context *cont-cz.ini'
failed.

I do have this file, though:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
bash-2.04# pwd
/usr/share/texmf
bash-2.04# find . -name syst-pln.tex
./tex/context/base/syst-pln.tex
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I pressed on added `map +context.map' to my pdftex.cfg file.
Then I copied texexec.rme to texexec.ini and ensured that TeXShell was
set to tetex. Then I tried `texexec --make en de nl' and got:

Here I gave up. Any ideas? Also, should I have even done `fmtutil
--all'? The documentation mentions this command but isn't clear on
whether it should be done.
thanks,
david
