Hi. I can't find a more clever subject. Sorry. I typeset two days a LaTex file for academic research using TeXShop. Now, two days later without using again ConTeXT, it seems I'm not able to use it anymore. No output at all. No pdf. So, I updated via Gerben's i-installer to ConTeXt stable and I have this, which is what I obtained before updating plus the last warning line. I tried with many files and that's the same. This is the minimal one \starttext test \stoptext It gives the following TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 fixing engine variable : pdfetex executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : testpdftex output : pdftex interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx) entering extended mode (./testpdftex.tex return code : 11 run time : 4 seconds total run time : 6 seconds warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead I guess it's a question of TeXShop preferences, but I really don't know. Many, many thanks in advance Best -a- Andrea Valle DAMS - Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione Università degli Studi di Torino http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea andrea.valle@unito.it
