Thanks all, Taco, Mojca, and Hans!
I tried your suggestions and finally decided to install TeXLive with
ruby, which let me compile tex files and get pdf output. Thanks again!

Also, be aware that the TeX distribution coming with your linux is
ancient (most probably teTeX). pdfTeX version is very old and you
might not be able to run the latest ConTeXt. SuSE distributes ConTeXt
as well, although it's probably an old one.
In any case you will have to update LModern fonts as well once you
manage to do mktexlsr and build the formats.
You might also experience problems with ruby vs. perl binaries.
See
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation#Install_a_Latin_Modern_...
and pay extra attention to "ruby scripts". Installing TeXLive might be
another option though.

Hello,
I am new to ConTeXt and really wish to shift to it from LaTeX.
I was trying to install ConTeXt archive (cont-tmf.zip) on my SuSe-10.1 linux machine, first unzip it to my texmf directory, then add context.map to the pdftex.cfg file. Finally I got stuck into generating cont-en.fmt format file.

Could you help me on that issue? Thanks in advance.
