Gerben's TeX+ConTeXt packages: can't find the format `cont-nl.fmt' ?
Hi, in the past I could use Gerben's TeX and ConTeXt distributions for Mac without manual changes. Last night I downloaded the "2004 stable" and Context-updater. If I now typeset a ConTeXt file as usual (texexec --pdf foo.tex) I get the following error: TeXExec 5.2.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 executable : pdfetex format : cont-nl inputfile : untitled output : pdftex interface : nl current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx) Sorry, I can't find the format `cont-nl.fmt'; will try `context.fmt'. I can't find the format file `context.fmt'! return code : 256 run time : 6 seconds total run time : 7 seconds TeX returned non zero exit status What has changed? Is there something I've missed?

Hi Steffen. This is more of a MacOSX installer problem, but... Steffen Wolfrum said this at Mon, 24 Jan 2005 08:14:20 +0100:

Okay, I don't have a great grasp of all the possible errors here (because I update manually), but take a look back at your i-Installer logs. Were there any errors? You didn't comment on whether or not your interface should or shouldn't be in dutch (interface : nl). Were *any* formats made? Do this in the terminal: ls -l /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-*.fmt I don't know enough about your setup to reach a verdict, so I'd say re- run the config stage in the i-Installer for ConTeXt first, and watch the diagnostic information there more carefully. adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
