As it happens, there isn't, and this a full Slackware install. I have 
installed many versions of TeXlive over the years. I have upgraded Context 
several times.  This error message is new. 

If Ruby is necessary to make the minimal linux package offered on  Pragma 
functional it would be helpful to specify that in the readme. I thought the 
Pragma Linux TeX package was self-contained. It would also be helpful if a 
fmtutil.cnf file were included so that fmtutil would work. 

I will try downloading ruby from somewhere, installing that and moving 
forward. If that doesn't work then I will give up on the Pragma minmal 
distro. It is a good idea, but it doesn't work correctly.
