Hi, after using LaTeX for article writing, presentations (beamer) and posters for about 15 years I wanted to try ConTeXt last week. I am not sure whether I installed all components correctly, so I tried to compile different simple test files. As I don't understand the error messages, I would like to ask for help. **************** 0. Installation **************** My configuration is - Macbook Pro, OSX 10.6.8 - TexShop 2.47 - Engine: ConTeXt-MKIV.engine I followed the instructions on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone/Mac_Installation step by step and installed a standalone version in the folder /Applications/Context. **************************************************************** 1. A simple "Hello world" example works fine! **************************************************************** \starttext Hello world \stoptext **************************************************************** 2. A simple presentation works fine and displays the nice black-red-gray background (see log below) **************************************************************** \usemodule[s-pre-03] \starttext \TitlePage{A simple presentation} \Topics{Today's talk} \Topic{First item} \Topic{Second item} \stoptext **************************************************************** 3. A similarly simple presentation _does not work_ (see log below) **************************************************************** \usemodule[s-pre-05] \starttext \TitlePage{A simple presentation} \Topics{Today's talk} \Topic{First item} \Topic{Second item} \stoptext **************** My questions: **************** - What is different between s-pre-03 and s-pre-05? - Does the error messages indicate that the installation was incomplete in some way...? - The error message says " error on line 11 in file Pres2.tex " although the file contains only 7 lines...? Thanks for your help Thomas Meigen ********************************************************************** Attachment 1: log-file of successful presentation "Pres1.tex" ********************************************************************** mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/Applications/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en" --jobname="Pres1" --lua="/Applications/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en.lui" --no-parse-first-line --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./Pres1.tex" --c:input="./Pres1.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 "cont-yes.mkiv" This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.74.0-2012122517 (rev 4541) \write18 enabled.
