Hi. I am writing a short note in the hope that someone else ran into the same problem and can tell me what to do before I have to start thinking: I am using ConTeXt for a few weeks now without major problems. Today I felt like updating to the latest version (Aug 21?). Now when I try to generate even the simplest document (like 'texexec --pdf test.tex), texexec never finishes and spawns huge numbers of perl jobs. Any hint what I did wrong?
Hello Boris,
Boris Tschirschwitz
I am using ConTeXt for a few weeks now without major problems. Today I felt like updating to the latest version (Aug 21?). Now when I try to generate even the simplest document (like 'texexec --pdf test.tex), texexec never finishes and spawns huge numbers of perl jobs.
Any hint what I did wrong?
Not really. Are there any old texexec programs in your PATH somewhere? Could you be more specific about your system configuration (Windows/Linux/...)? Can you find out where texexec spawns the new perl jobs? Is there any hint in the output? Patrick

This sounds strange ... how does your file look? Texexec does only start a new one when it calls metapost with embedded btex/etex code, so ... does texutil --purge help?
