Weird: There is almost certainly something wrong in your format file.. Did you install the ConTeXt that came with fpTeX? If so, get rid of it (minus texexec.exe), reinstall the latest version, and try again.

Yes, when I installed TeXLive there was also ConTeXt installed. Then I immediately deleted the files in texmf/tex/context/base/ and texmf/metapost/context/base/ . Now I also deleted the texmf/.../texexec.ini file and reinstalled context again (texmf-local tree) Hashed the ls-r, rebuild the formats and tried it again. Still the same error logs. Maybe there are still some leftovers from TeXLives ConTeXt interfering? What is the right way to "get rid of it (minus texexec.exe)"? When I install ConTeXt in a local tree do I have to delete more ConTeXt files in the main tree? Thank you, Steffen
