Does somebody know which patches still have to be applied to texexec to get it working?
in texexec.ini/rme set the engine switch to false
As mentioned before, that didn't help.
can you try todays alpha release?
I did, it does not work. Each 'texexec --pdf' run fails with:
Sorry, I can't find the format `cont-en.efmt'; will try `context.efmt'. I can't find the format file `context.efmt'!
No difference wether I set UseEnginePath to true or false in texexec.ini.
locate texmf.cnf and check
TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$ENGINE,} MFBASES = .;$TEXFORMATS MPMEMS = .;$TEXFORMATS TEXPOOL = .;$TEXFORMATS MFPOOL = .;$TEXFORMATS MPPOOL = .;$TEXFORMATS
My line was TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c The problem is not that I can't make tex find the formats. I think it is because texexec tries to launch a command named 'metafun' which does not exists, as the following lines of ouput of a texexec run suggest:
metapost : try-mpgraph format : metafun sh: metafun: not found
are you running old binaries?
I have: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10a-RC3-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.3) This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.4.3) TeXExec 5.3.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 ConTeXt ver: 2005.04.19 fmt: 2005.4.28 int: english mes: english
As you mention it, now I see that texexec complains: systems : pdfTeX version 110 -> please update systems : eTeX version 201 -> too old (bugs)
Can this really be the reason? I don't have administrative access to the tex system here, so that would mean difficulties.
the problem is that some things have changed in the way tex looks up files
an option is to download the minimal linux context tree (from the website or a mirror) and install that in your home dir;
fetch zip mkdir tex cd tex unzip here . setuptex cd ..
and you live in a context tex space
