Hi all, After searching the archives and reading the wikis, I'm still at loss on this one. :( I installed TexLive 2007 on Ubuntu Gutsy through the repository package. All went well. However, given that I have to use XeTeX and that the ConTeXt that was installed with the package dates from May 2007, which is between January and 08.29, to be sure everything was okay I updated ConTeXt. I did it manually because ctxtools didn't work. A problem with the paths. First red flag, but I went on manually. I got the newest cont-tmf.zip and unzipped it in /usr/share/texmf and regenerated the formats by doing: texexec --make --all To check I had the correct version, I ran, on the commandline, these two: texexec --check and: ctxtools --contextversion Both gave me 2007.09.28 16:52, which seems quite correct. However, when I try to compile a document (with the --xtx option), I get the following error: ConTeXt ver: 2007.04.17 12:51 MKII fmt: 2007.11.5 int: english/english language : language en is active system : cont-new loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex FatalError : Your format does not match the base files! FormatVersion : 2007.04.17 12:51 MKII FilesVersion : 2007.09.28 16:52 Clearly, there is something I must do that I don't know about or that I haven't found anywhere. Anyone can help? I figure it's simple -- and with all those numerous update questions around, I'm still stumped. Many thanks in advance for any help. Cheers! Jeff Smith
