Although the setup below works, there is still another problem when the project setup is more involved. The problem can now be described as follows: \project setup with \products in subdirectories, no problem in finding environments higher up when texexec-ing. Setup of bibtext database is done with \setupbibtex[literature] . Directory structure is: project/ (containing \project-file, literature.bib and literature.bbl) project/xyz (containing xyz \product-file) Running job xyz.tex within project/xyz, produces xyz.aux, which is useless for bibtex; therefore I tried to use the bbl file directly and thought to find this in coding: \usepublications[literature] instead of \setupbibtex[literature] putting this in an \environment at the \project level. However, texexec-ing xyz in its subdirectory again does not find literature.bbl, the log file says: publications : file literature.bbl not found, don't forget to run bibtex But, it does find the bibtex database literature.bbl when I put the \product files in the same directory as the \product; correctly saying: publications : loading database from literature.bbl It looks as if the bib-module does not look higher up in the directory hierarchy as is done for other elements in an \environment. I would expect that from the project structure, being the main benefit of this structuring. Is this really a problem in the bib-module or am I overseeing something. yours sincerely, dr.

Should have worked, AFAICT. Please try the attached minimal file. You should run:

texexec mini bibtex mini texexec mini

So it really is a bug. Makes my day! It is not that often one stumbles onto a bug. After all these years ConTeXt seems pretty robust to me. And thanks for quickly providing the fix. yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer On Jan 13, 2006, at 13:07, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

It really is a problem in the module. This improved definition of \dousepublications should fix it:

\def\dousepublications#1% {\readfile{#1.bbl} % not \readsysfile {\showmessage{bib}{4}{#1.bbl}} {\showmessage{bib}{2}{#1.bbl}}}

You should put it somewhere after \usemodule, but before \usepublications. Thanks for the bug report!

Cheers, Taco

I just have updated my ConTeXt system (*) to the new one, and now I get this error: ... ConTeXt ver: 2005.12.19 fmt: 2006.1.9 int: english mes: english

FormatVersion : 2005.12.19 FilesVersion : 2006.01.12 10:38 ... Why did this happen? However, I deleted the file "cont-new.tex" and copied the one from la last distribution (06.0.1.2006) and now it works.

well, now you really have a messed up system -) you get this message and abortion when your format is not matching your base files, so instead of deleting the new cont-new.tex, you have to make a format i added this feature in order to prevent such problems -) FatalError : Your format does not match the base files! is the problem Hans
