Did you source setuptex ?
Under linux I do . setuptext in tex dir
I set up the folloiwng in my .bashrc: source /home/safer/context/tex/setuptex ---which gave me the "set" values quoted before: TEXMFCACHE=/home/safer/context/tex/texmf-cache TEXMFOS=/home/safer/context/tex/texmf-linux TEXROOT=/home/safer/context/tex Without that line I just default to my texlive installation. There is no pdftex.fmt file in my context-minimal install, anywhere. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus/e-book $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
