[NTG-context] Re: Sorry for once more asking, i am at Work

Hi Uschi, I think there are two separate issues. The first is possible trouble with the install from the ConTeXt garden. (Maybe this is related to “startup error : no format file given, quitting.”) The second is that you call PdfLaTeX to typeset your document, even though I know that is not what you intend. Since you have TeX Live, I recommend you get the ConTeXt in TeX Live working first, then decide if you need the latest ConTeXt from the garden.

The engine you are using is pdfTeX (from TeX Live 2023). In ConTeXt terms, this is almost ancient (»uralt«).

Just to clarify, TeX Live 2023 has a perfectly good, rather up-to-date version of ConTeXt. I’m using it to typeset books and papers with all sorts of MetaFun craziness. However, if I attempt to typeset one of these ConTeXt documents using PdfLaTeX, I get exactly the same error and log file that you get. I don’t know how you are calling PdfLaTeX to typeset your document, context-test.tex, but that is what you are doing. Until you get that straightened out, it won’t matter what version of ConTeXt you have installed. Gavin
