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.
