I've just dowloaded the ConTeXt form the website http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm I've downloaded both the "the main CONTEXT distribution" as well as "the minimal CONTEXT distribution (linux)" Both distributions give me a bunch of directories and scrits, but no instructions on where to put what. With the linux distrubtion, I was given a setuptex script. I ran this, and got nothing. I opend this script and uncommented the following lines and put them at the bottom of the script: # mktexlsr # texexec --make --alone I seemed to get a successful make, but then when I ran texecec I got the following message: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211-HO20020731-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.7) kpathsea: Running mktexfmt cont-en.efmt fmtutil: no info for format `cont-en'. Sorry, I can't find the format `cont-en.efmt'; will try `context.efmt'. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.efmt fmtutil: no info for format `context'. I can't find the format file `context.efmt'! I got the same exact message when I ran perl texecec.pl with the main CONTEXT distribution. I already have a working distribution of TeX on my system. I know I need to move some directories around and set up PATH to find the executable, but I am at a loss what to move. Thanks Paul PS Could you cc me? I am not a part of the mailing list yet. I subscribed yesterday and am waiting for the moderator to approve me. -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry@iglou.com * ************************
