fontspec Error for some XeTeX/LuaTeX function

Question

I have a template I got from the internet. When I run it I get the following error.

! Fatal fontspec error: "not-pdftex"
! 
! Requires XeTeX or LuaTeX to function!

I have XeTeX and LuaTeX installed. It gives me an error at line 34 in fontspec.sty. Please help. I do not understand what is wrong. Thanks

How exactly do you try to compile it? Please post the used command line. Simply latex myfile.txt won't work here. — Martin Scharrer, Commented Feb 8, 2011 at 18:13
Have XeTeX or LuaTeX installed isn't sufficient, you must compile your document with Xe(La)TeX or Lua(La)TeX — PHL, Commented Feb 8, 2011 at 19:13
Hmmm, I guess that error message could be rather more helpful. — Will Robertson, Commented Feb 8, 2011 at 23:07
