Subject: TeXLive 8 and  Context
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2003 03:44:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200308190344.27896.john@wexfordpress.com> (raw)

I downloaded the latest (well yesterday's) version of the install iso for 
TeXlive 8.  It is still beta.

Unlike TeXlive 7 Context did not work after install. The missing piece was the
little script: /usr/TeX/bin/i386-linux/texexec
So I copied that piece of code over from TeXlive 7 and waved my apprentice's
wand over the system a few times, per the instructions in texexec.rme:
cp ../texexec.rme texexec.ini
texexec --verbose
texexec --make
fmtutil --all
texhash
(The last two just for a security blanket)

...and I now have Context up and presumably running correctly. 

So perhaps before TeXlive 8 becomes final final, someone should insert
that little script where it belongs in the distro.

To find the address for the beta google (groups ) under John Culleton and 
TeXlive. Someone was kind enough to give it to me. Unfortunately my
 internet connection is almost kaput thanks to that stupid Microsoft virus. I 
am connected but when I ping three packets I only get back one. 

This message may get there someday. Or maybe not.
