XeTeX w. ConTeXt question
Greetings, After a number of attempts (somewhat indistinguishable in my memory at this point) I've been able to run ConTeXt with XeTeX support (if that's the right nomenclature;). It works! But I do receive this error message: -- (/usr/local/TeTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/spec-tpd.tex systems : you should use pdfTeX binaries \wait= ) -- Looking in spec-tpd.tex, this error message comes from pdftexversion being undefined. Could someone clarify this for me? Kind regards

That error should be long gone by now. Which version of ConTeXt are you using?

Hmm. How are you invoking texexec? It should be texexec --xtx filename. You shouldn't use the --pdf command line switch, as that would probably confuse things (and cause the pdftex specials to be loaded). best, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Thanks for the response. I'm using: texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3) context : ver: 2005.01.31 cont-en : ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2005.3.4 mes: english cont-nl : ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2005.3.4 mes: dutch and am also invoking texexec as you say: texexec --xtx File.tex I'm using Gerben's i-Installer to install teTeX. Hmm…I have some vague memory of a default setting [checking]. Yes, in cont-sys.tex, the \setupoutput is set to [pdftex]. When I comment it out, everything works fine. :) Regards, David On Mar 16, 2005, at 4:55 PM, Adam Lindsay wrote:

an ugly hack would be in the tpd driver to test for some primitive and load the xtx driver instead but i'm not sure if we should go that way Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

with xetex you should use texexec --xtx yourfile so that the xetex driver file is used; now you use the pdftex one Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
