Hans mentioned the minimal context linux distribution.
OK, I deleted everything I did yesterday and started over. This time I (think) I tried the minimal contex distribution. Things still aren't working. I am on Redhat Enterprise Linux v4. Thanks again for the help.

Here is what I did today:
download http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/install/justtex.zip download http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/install/linuxtex.zip move both files to /usr/local cd /usr/local unzip -a justtex.zip unzip -a linuxtex.zip Set up environment:
export TEXROOT=/usr/local/tex [...]
What about just ". setuptex"? Are you running a shell other than bash?
create the directory specified by $VARTEXMF cd $TEXMFOS/bin chmod +x *
On my system the permissions look sensible without manual adjustment.
chmod -x xpdfsuite.zip download http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/current/cont-tmf.zip mv cont-tmp.zip to $TEXROOT/texmf cd $TEXROOT/texmf unzip -ao cont-tmf.zip copy texmf/context/config/texexec.rme texexec.ini
texexec --verbose
Output:

Looks good so far.

I don't get these sed errors using Fedora Core 4. I suspect these come from mktexlsr. I have: $ rpm -q sed sed-4.1.4-1 $ sed --version GNU sed version 4.1.4 $ which sed /bin/sed Try runing "mktexlsr" from the command line.

I'm stuck because I can't find a file 'cont-en' either.
You should get:
$ kpsewhich cont-en
/usr/local/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex
Check for bug reports against your sed.
You could hack at mktexlsr to replace the sed lines with constants and see if
you get further.
