"texexec --make en de dl" command, but that one fails with:

There are probably two possible ways (I only use the fist alternative)
1) run texexec --make --alone en de dl metafun
and copy the resulting efmt and mem files to the appropiate places. (texmf/web2c/)
I did just that, but running texexec on test.tex gives: #################### CUT ######################## [JuBColding@apollo context]$ texexec test.tex TeXExec 3.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2003 executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : test output : dvips interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-14h-released-20010417-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.3.1) Sorry, I can't find the format `cont-en.efmt'; will try `context.efmt'.

Well, if TeX can't find something it is looking for, run mktexlsr or texhash in order to update its database. Verify with kpsewhich: pg@burger:~$ kpsewhich cont-en.efmt (in a terminal) the output should be something like: /opt/context/2003.7.21/texmf/web2c/cont-en.efmt Patrick

Jules, On some systems, when you run texexec --make --alone, the format files are put automatically in the correct place. On others, they're not. For example, if you are on: c:\temp And you run texexec --make --alone, then the format files might wind up in c:\temp and you have to manually move them to the correct place (In Miktex, on my system, that's to c:\localtexmf\miktex\fmt and c:\localtexmf\miktex\mem. Then you have to refresh the filename database. Hope this helps.
