From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0 Description of problem: When I try to use conTeXt packages texexec complains about missing format files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tetex 1.0.7-47 RPMs How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create source file: -- hello.tex -------------------------------------- \setupbodyfont[14.4pt] \starttext Hello World! \stoptext --------------------------------------------------- 2. execute: texexec --pdf hello.tex Actual Results: TeXExec 2.6 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2001 executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : hello output : pdftex interface : en current mode : all 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'. I can't find the format file `context.efmt'! run time : 1 seconds total run time : 1 seconds Expected Results: It should produce the expected pdf file instead. Additional info: It seems that some format files are missing. Thus I asked Thomas Esser what to do. He suggested to try: pdfetex -ini -progname=context \*cont-en.ini fmtutil --edit # Uncomment cont-en entry fmtutil --byfmt cont-en This worked fine for me. Since I am no TeX expert you might need how to fix this problem in general.
Thanks. I think I see how to fix the RPM.
Current rawhide version fixes this.
