Hi, The delivered TeX distributions with Linux are mostly way too old. If you look at the messages given by your texexec run you can see it already. TEXEXEC is way too old. The current version is above 5! After updating your context it appears that it uses still a very outdated version of texexec. I advise you to update your tex-system from CTAN (http://www.tug.org/interest.html). Willi
