gwTeX problem

gwTeX problem

[David Arnold]

All,

After using i-installer to install "gwTeX Support : Context Updater,"  
I now get the following message:

FatalError      : Your format does not match the base files!

FormatVersion   : 2007.01.02 13:44 MK II
FilesVersion    : 2007.04.17 12:51

How should I proceed?

Remake the formats

texexec --make --all


BTW, to update context (if you are not behind a firewall) you can do

ctxtools --update

Neither option worked. I am now getting the famous error:

It may have something to do with the way gwTeX is structured:

gwTeX $ ls

include         man             texmf.cnf       texmf.pkgs

Usually this is because latin modern fonts are not present. Try to 
download the fonts, unzip them in your texmf tree, run mktexlsr and try 
again.

Re: gwTeX problem

[David Arnold]

All,

I got myself in trouble by using gwTeX  i-installer and tried to use  
Context Updater. The result was that the format files didn't match  
the base files (error message). Then I tried ctxtools --update. Now I  
have the font problem error described below.

Here's part of a log file prior to my problem.

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.0-rc4 (Web2C 7.5.5)

You can see that it is using this path:  usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs.

After my attempts at updating, note that it is now using an entirely

(/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex))


Note the path: /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local

I think what I should have done after using i-installer, is try using  
texmfstart texexec --make --all.

Not sure how best to proceed. Does ctxtools have an uninstall? Does  
ctxtools install in texmf.local by default?

Re: gwTeX problem

[David Arnold]

Latin modern fonts have names like what?

Where are they installed in your tree?

Where can I get these fonts?

At what point in my tree do I place the zip file and then what  
command do I use to unzip them?

Thanks, Aditya. Your help is appreciated.

I would have never messed with my installation but I tried your first  
example in section 4, page 4 of:  http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/ 
mathalign.pdf and got two equations but three numbers! (1) (2) and  
(3). So I thought that might be a bug and I hadn't updated context in  
some time, so here I am, hammered again ....

Re: gwTeX problem

[Matthias Weber]

If you don't need the very very latest version, do yourself a favor  
and download the gwTeX installer from

http://www.tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html

It's big, but it does it with one click, and it's only a month old.

On the other hand, it would be convenient if we could quickly upgrade  
to the latest ConTeXt on a Mac.

ctxtools --update

gives me

unable to fetch cont-tmf.zip

Download the files in texmf-local or texmf-fonts, and unzip them. THey 
are in TDS format so you need not worry about where to place the files.

at texmf-local/ or texmf-font/

Simply unzip them using unzip filename.

Yes, that was a bug introduced sometime in the beginning of this year 
(I think) but was corrected soon.

Re: gwTeX problem (I'm back)

[David Arnold]

Aditya et al,

The cure follows:

1. Use GW's i-installer to: Update gwTeX based on Texlive

During this installation and configuration, I am confronted with a  
warning that I have some personal tex setttings and .... This is  
true, as I have some stuff in ~/Library/texmf/.

2. Update gwTeX Support: Context Updater.

Run:

texmfstart texexec --make --all

Watching carefully, I see formats going into ~/Library/texmf/web2c/  
and ~/Library/texmf/web2c/pdflatex/.

And I am back. All is well.

There are still two things I am unsure of:

1. Does GW's Context Updater install Context in texmf.local?

2. Which context installation does ctxtools  --updatecontext update?  
Does it interfere with GW's installation?

Maybe you are behind a firewall?, we discussed this on the list earlier 
this year. (BTW upgrading will break XeTeX :-( but maybe you don't mind.

No. But all that ctxtools did was fetching a new zip and unzipping
files into /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.local. If you didn't place anything
else there, you may simply delete all the contents from that directory
and run
    [sudo] mktexlsr (just to make sure that TeX won't think the files
are still there)
    texexec --make --all (to remake the format)

> Does ctxtools install in texmf.local by default?

Yes. And I'm not sure if fixing it makes sense (it does in some
aspects, but I would not dare asking for it - Gerben's updater works
just fine).

In general it's better to use gwTeX's updater. It's always up-to-date.
And make sure to use the TeXLive-based one. I never tried the MacTeX -
it might work even better, but I have no experince with it.

ctxtools --update is not necessary the best option for MikTeX and
gwTeX (since you ignore/neglect the system's book-keeping about
existing files and packages), but works perfectly wih standalone
ConTeXt.
