I'm having problems running ConTeXt on my Kubuntu 7.04 (Feisty).
I have installed the texlive and texlive-context packages from the ubuntu
repository with apt-get.
$ sudo apt-get install texlive texlive-context
Everything fine up to this point. Then I tested the principal programs:
$ tex --verbose
$ latex --verbose
$ texexec --verbose
I've made page-tests with TeX and LaTeX without problems, but with ConTeXt the
"thing" is different.
texexec is installed on the system, but when I try to build a test-page (a
very simple one) texexec fails. The code of my test file is the same I have
found on the ConTeXt Wiki:
hello.tex:
\starttext
Hello World
\stoptext
That's all. The resulting screen is too long to post it here, but the last lines
show this:
.

.

?
As you can see, texexec have problems finding the \starttext definition, I
supose that this is related with the system paths, I've expended some time
(several hours indeed) trying to figure out what the problem is and trying to
fix it. I modify the texexec.ini with my system's texlive paths, and I've
followed the instructions I've found on the ConTeXt Wiki but all was in vain.
I get suscribed to this mailing list with the hope that somebody could tell me
what's wrong and how can I fix this problem.
thank you very much
