[dot] setuptex in that specific folder and than tex will work in that shell only. I've put something equivalent to cd /usr/local/cont/tex . setuptex cd into my .bashrc. I'm not sure that that's the proper and most elegant solution, but it was the only one that I found to be working. (An alternative would surely be a smart copy of contents of setuptex to .bashrc.) Then I changed the path to point to /usr/local/cont/tex/texmf-linux/bin and ran mktexlsr. If setuptex was executed properly, it should already be in your PATH. If not, other environmental variables needed to run TeX properly are not set either, so the formats will not be copied where they were supposed to be. It followed the new path. I ran texexec --make --alone and it seemed to be successful. Ran mktexlsr again. Then I ran a test program in another directory. It could not find cont-en.fmt. In fact this file or anything similar to this file does not exist in this tree, although it existed in my previous tetex tree and exists in my texlive tree. How do I create and/or download this file? You can't download it. texexec --make --all (or --make --alone, it doesn't really matter I guess) should create it and copy it to the proper destination. If it didn't, ConTeXt won't work properly either since the rest of the needed environmental variables are not set properly.

Just a guess: since you used the --alone switch, is there a path to the current directory from which you invoked texexec --make --alone Without the --alone switch the fmt file should go into \texmf-linux\web2c or \texmf-linux\web2c\pdfetex, depending on your texexec.ini setup.

Depending on your shell you may have to source setuptex path-to-setuptex or just setuptex path-to-setuptex As a quick check to see if everything went fine, do echo $TEXMF before and after sourcing setuptex. Just a guess: since you used the --alone switch, is there a path to the current directory from which you invoked texexec --make --alone Without the --alone switch the fmt file should go into \texmf-linux\web2c or \texmf-linux\web2c\pdfetex, depending on your texexec.ini setup. IIRC, the new (ruby) texexec does not read texexec.ini. One possibility is that $TEXMFLOCAL is not set (as you did not run setuptex) so texexec did not know where to place the format files. This also happens with Miktex and texexec creates a directory pdfetex in the current directory and dumps the format files there. You can try moving the fmt files to /usr/loca/cont/tex/texmf-local/web2c/pdfetex Aditya ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
