After running with TeXLive 2008 for some time, I decided to try the TeXLive 2011 dist and try to get 'caught up' with more recent developments. I am on a Mac, and the MacTeX distribution installed everything as expected in /usr/local. But things do not work as expected. With Mkii, doing 'texexec file.tex' on a simple file succeeds, but the result file is a .dvi file, not a .pdf file as expected. This is quite surprising, since the output indicates that pdftex is being loaded: TeXExec | processing document 'thing.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file thing.top TeXExec | using randomseed 583 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (TeX Live 2011) restricted \write18 enabled.
