Dalyoung said this at Fri, 3 Dec 2004 00:04:24 +0900: Hi, Dalyoung. I'm cc'ing to the ConTeXt list, because I don't see why a context.fmt file (or its equivalent) would be created.

Thank you for your reply. The command sudo texexec --xtx --make --alone en creates a format file-context.xfmt.

I was fairly certain cont-en.xfmt would have been created, and not context.xfmt. Anyone in ConTeXt land know why?

However, I still don't have an output.

I tested a short file, after a long line of display, it stoped. But there is no pdf output.

Okay, that log looks like texexec didn't find the cont-en format, and it tried making one. Most likely my patches to texexec didn't cover this error condition (and I'll look at revising it), but really, you should be creating a cont-en file with that command listed above. Anyone else have a clue? In the meantime, what does this return?: sudo texexec --xtx --make --alone cont-en adam

This is the last few lines of log.
