Hi,

sorry for my quick and inefficient answers. Indeed, the answer is in
the User's guide, p.61: in an ordinary document, you have to put
yourself the place where the TOC must appear, with the command
@ContentsGoesHere !
If the above error message is the only one you get, it should work,
though you may need to run lout twice to get the TOC. 

The followig vorks for me:

   @SysInclude { langdefs} # language definitions
   @SysInclude { bsf} # BasicSetup package
   @SysInclude { dsf} # DocumentSetup package
   @SysInclude { docf} # Ordinary package

   @Use { @BasicSetup }

   @Use { @DocumentSetup
    @MakeContents { Yes }
   }

   @Use { @OrdinarySetup }

   @SysDatabase @FontDef  { fontdefs }
   @SysDatabase @RefStyle { refstyle }

   @Doc @Text @Begin
   @PP Here, you have normal text.
   @BeginSections
   @Section
     @Title { Glou }
   @Begin
   @PP Glou again
   @End @Section

   @PP And here is the table of Contents !
   @DP
   @ContentsGoesHere
   @EndSections

   @End @Text

Play it again, Sam...
