[NTG-context] Re: context / auctex problem?

["Jürgen Hanneder via ntg-context" <ntg-context@ntg.nl>]

1. This sounded like a good solution:

Despite the contextgarden wiki page, which says:

>  ;; AUCTeX defaults to mkii; change to iv for iv and lmtx
>  (ConTeXt-Mark-version "IV")

this seemed like a good idea,

> (custom-set-variables
>    '(ConTeXt-Mark-version "lmtx")
>    '(ConTeXt-engine "lmtx"))

but on my system the error just changes:

Running `ConTeXt Full' on `context-test' with ``texexec  --engine=lmtx  
--nonstop context-test.tex''
/usr/bin/texexec: Zeile 2: mtxrun: Kommando nicht gefunden.

auctex apparently stops using the command "context" directly, but via texexec.

I tried the method from https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ExecPath
and set explicitly a path as

(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("-Path as in Bashrc-")))

Does not work.

Exactly. It is a little absurd that it should be so difficult to tell  
auctex anything.

I started using emacs in the nineties on a college mainframe, so I am  
not (yet) ready for vim:)

Thanks a lot for your tips, I shall write if and when I find a solution.
