It is small:

#!/bin/sh test -f "`kpsewhich cont-en.efmt`" || fmtutil --byfmt cont-en exec pdfetex -efmt=cont-en -progname=context "$@"

Well, running ConTeXt this way _works_. Thank you. However, I'm just curious why texexec fails.

can you locate texexex.pl, go to that path and run 'perl texexec.pl' as a test? hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

This means that texexec.pl asks the shell to execute the command cont-en, and then the shell fails because it cannot find cont-en. So it is not a failure of texexec, but the absence of cont-en that is the problem. Or if cont-en exists, it is not in your path or not executable.

Right. It wasn't in my path. Now, everything seems to be ok. Best wishes, Pavel.
