Hello,

I've been trying to compile my document using XeTeX and it gives me the following error:

you probably need a newer context

% engine=xetex output=xtx

\externalfigure[cow.pdf] \end

works ok here (or one can give texexec --xetex filename)

in the process you should see something:

figures : using rlxtools to determine size of cow.pdf RlxTools | cow.pdf is identified (./cow.pdf.rli)

It doesn't work here either. For PDF I get: ################################################## system (XETEX) : [line 877] ) specials : fdf,dpx loaded ) !

I know ;) Mojca

Hmmm ... most probably ImageMagic then. From rlxtools: result = `identify -units PixelsPerCentimeter -format \"x=%x,y=%y,w=%w,h=%h,b=%b\" #{filename}`.chomp.split(',') Mojca (From time to time it helps to delete the whole ConTeXt and then istall it again. I have no idea what went wrong before, but at least the document compiles now, although I don't get the images yet.)

I have reinstalled ConTeXt several times in the last few days and I think I have a pretty recent version of ConTeXt.

I tried including miscellaneous PNG and JPG archives, and the only thing it would show when using XeTeX was a dummy box. When using TeX proper it would include the images correctly.

can you run rlxtools?

- You need to install ImageMagic if you don't have it yet. - My files didn't want to compile either. I deleted everything and installed ConTeXt from scratch (mswintex.zip, justtex.zip, XeTeX from W32TeX + "ctxtools --update" + remake formats for XeTeX). Don't ask me why it didn't work before (complained as in your case) - now it works perfectly. Mojca

I've followed this thread with interest.... What about the windows stand-alone distribution, here? Would it be any different? I installed ImageMagick and enabled the shell-escape, but I still get the dummy boxes.

Can you send the logs? The only explanation that I might have is that either: - texmfstart.exe hasn't been updated for some time (cont-win.zip has to be fetched and the old exe file has to be replaced every now and then) - or you need at least ConTeXt beta version 2006-08-16 (so you really need to "ctxtools --update" or to unzip the latest beta over existing files) - which version of XeTeX do you use (I have 0.995, but I doubt that some major change has been made recently; contrary: making "diff" against the latest stable ConTeXt version resulted in a file of approximate size 660 kB) (I'm also working with the standalone distro on Windows.) But what exactly do you mean by "I enabled the shell-escape"? Isn't it enabled by default already (contrary to other distributions such as MikTeXt)? Mojca

hm, i only test xetex on windows (two broken macs now) and it works ok; is rlxtools called ? if not you can try rlxtools --ident somefile.jpg to see what happens btw, make sure that you use texexec --xtx somefile i.e. use dvipdfmx and not the other 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
