Thanks, Taco. After installing ConTeXt 2008-08-04, I have cont-en.fmt in texmf-var/web2c/pdftex and texmf-var/web2c/xetex Installing ConTeXt 2008-08-15 has the same files in the same places, though I gather that it replaces cont-en.fmt in texmf-var/web2c/pdftex with as TeXExec | tex: 14/08/2008 09:34:24 > /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-var/ web2c/pdftex/cont-en.fmt (7381076) would indicate. ConTeXt 2008-08-04 2 works. All later versions do not because of the mismatch in base files. Alan On Aug 11, 2008, at 04;18,42 , Taco Hoekwater wrote:

The updating process included
sudo texhash sudo texexec --make --all
so I am puzzled about why the problem occurs.
There are really only two options:
a) texexec --make --all failed b) the new format is generated in a different place from the old one and the old one is still found first.
In both cases, searching your disk for files named "cont-en.fmt" should shed some light on the problem.
Best wishes, Taco
