I renamed my input file to temp.tex.

Now I get:

kpathsea: Running mktexfmt cont-en.fmt mktexfmt: No such file or directory I can't find the format file `cont-en.fmt'

The file cont-en.fmt is in

texmf-linux/web2c/pdfetex

I added the following line to texmf/context/config/texexec.ini

TeXFormatPath texmf-linux/web2c/pdfetex fmt files

When you run ". setuptex " you should end up with TEXFORMATS='$TEXMFOS/web2c/{$engine,}' If this is OK, then try "texexec --check" and "texexec --verbose test" to see if you get some hints.

That didn't help, so I copied texexec.ini to

texmf-linux/bin

but that didn't help either.

The kpsewhich utility is used to search the ls-R databases and can also display the values of variables. Unfortunately, the documentation is probably not in the minimal configuration you have. If you can find another system with TeX, try "info kpsewhich". -- George N. White III Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia
