Error running compiling with ConTeXt MKII
Hi, I am new to context trying to compile my first few files. Last week I posted a message requesting help to which Taco responded. As a result, I reinstalled my TeXLive 2010 version and followed the post-installation steps in the TeXLive documentation. I have a demo file(attached to this post) that I wanted to test out. I used Texworks and ran ContXt(MKII) from the menu. Below is my result. ================================================================================= This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9997.4 (Web2C 2010) (format=cont-en 2011.5.2) 2 MAY 2011 12:11 entering extended mode restricted \write18 enabled. %&-line parsing enabled. **demo.tex \\emergencyend (./demo.tex systems : BEWARE: syntex functionality is enabled!

Is there something I am missing to be able to get the result? How do I make sure that I am using the right format for a given document?

There is a chance that you have a version of cont-en.fmt file at some unexpected place. At least one of the following commands should solve your problem: - fmtutil-sys --byfmt cont-en - fmtutil --byfmt cont-en - texexec --xtx --make If none of them does, you first need to find a file web2/xetex/cont-en.fmt sowhere on your disk, delete it and try out fmtutil again (or texexec --xtx --make). However neither TeX Live nor minimals contain taspresent module (which means that you wouldn't be able to compile the file anyway unless you manually add the module) and I'm not sure that I know why not.

Hi Majorca Thanks for your hints. I actually used the tlmgr to add the modules from tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 which includes taspresent. I did try the commands you gave and none of them seem to work on my system. I may need to locate the web2/xetex/cont-en.fmt as you suggested.

Hi Majorca
Thanks for your hints. I actually used the tlmgr to add the modules from tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 which includes taspresent. I did try the commands you gave and none of them seem to work on my system. I may need to locate the web2/xetex/cont-en.fmt as you suggested.
Hi Ismael, for starters, call texexec from the command line, not from within an editor, this will give you more info and will make it easier to help. Giving us the output of which texexec and kpsewhere -engine=/ cont-en.fmt might already be helpful. And don't use the taspresent module, it has been superseded by simpleslides. Good luck Thomas
