Running texexec --pdf against a ConTeXt input file also works fine. There just seems to me a mismatch against jade/jadetex somewhere. I had this same problem with the old docbook-tools as well, so I do not think it is due to the new tool-set. I know this is something simple, but I do not think I have the needed input files to regenerate the needed format file. Has anyone else seen this? Any hints on how to resolve it?
