[NTG-context] New ConTeXt with old teTeX problem?

28 Sep 2005

      Good evening.

After some time I tried to install the newest ConTeXt over my old teTeX 
in SuSE Linux 9.2. Everything seems to work. I use texexec version 5.4.3 
with ConTeXt version 2005.08.31. ConTeXt gives this warning:
    systems         : pdfTeX version 110 -> please update
    systems         : eTeX version 201 -> too old (bugs)
Then it failes on the minimal file:
    % output=pdf
    \starttext
        text
    \stoptext
and gives this error:
    ! Missing { inserted.
    <to be read again>
                   r
    <argument> \pdfobj r
                    eserveobjnum {}\setxvalue \pdffontresource {\the

    \firstofoneargument #1->#1
    <argument> ...tencoding }\to \everybeforeshipout }
                                                  \fi \fi \ifcsname

                                                  \fi
    ...
    l.5 \stoptext

What's the problem? The old pdfetex? How can I upgrade it without 
reinstalling the whole SuSE system? I wouldn't mind to reject the teTeX 
and use Pragma's mimimum TeX distribution, but it does'nt include 
Metafont and I still need some .mf bitmapped fonts.

Can you help me please?
Your sincerely
