[dev-context] tex installation

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hi out there,

I am struggling with the current ConTeXt installation on garden. I have
installed the archive in /opt/context/<date>/.... and generated the
format file into web2c/cont-en.fmt and alike.

When I run 

perl /opt/tetex/current/texmf/scripts/context/perl/texexec.pl hello.tex 

pdfTeX uses the installed format files, when running

texexec hello.tex

(/opt/context/current/bin/texexec)
new format files get generated by (?) and put into /var/tmp/tetex3/texmf-sysvar

Both variables: TEXMFSYSVAR, TEXMFVAR poin to this directory (is this
a sensible configuration?)

The output begins with:

--------------------------------------------------
TeXExec 5.3.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

The $PATH is:
/opt/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/context/current/bin:/opt/tetex/current/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu/


I just see that Adam has a similar problem. Any clue how to make
texexec from the current ConTeXt distribution use my format files?
