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 ...
To upgrade I have downloaded
http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip
and read also part of
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/minstall.pdf
It says that I have to unzip cont-tmf.zip in /usr/share/texmf ...
which I have done ...
And then they say we have to regenerate format .... but I'm not that
expert to understand what it means ...
What I have done is fmtutil --all
But my context distrib does not work anymore ... ;-(
Could anybody help me ?
I have relink
ln -s /usr/share/texmf/context/perltk/texexec.pl /usr/bin/texexec
since /usr/bin/texexec was the location where my shell use to find
texec ... But I'm probably messing everything doing that.
Anyway, I have NOT "regenerate the format" and try to use texexec ..
but on a simple "hello world" example stored in hw.tex file :
\starttext
Hello World !
\stoptext
it gives me this output ;-(
