Hi, I've switched from Linux (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition) running from within Windows XP + VirtualBox to a stand-alone Ubuntu installation. Installed - ConTeXt minimals in /opt/context - SciTE through the Synaptic Package Manager, and followed the "SciTE in ConTeXt" manual instructions : * Re. §2: Installing SciTE Copied - /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/context/data/*.properties files and - /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/scite-ctx.lua to /usr/share/scite Then - included the line 'import context.properties' at the end of /home/(username)/.SciTEUser.properties * Re: §3: The TeX lexer Put context.properties in the same path as SciTEUser.properties - and to add import context.properties ( instead of import context - see pg 4 ): done already in the previous step FYI, doing so, context.properties is then in /usr/share/scite *and* /home/(username) !? Launching SciTE from a terminal window... Setting "/opt/context/tex" as TEXROOT. (username)@home:/opt/context/tex$ scite launches SciTE however syntax highlighting doesn't work Setting "/opt/context/tex" as TEXROOT. alan@home:/opt/context/tex$ export declare -x COLORTERM="gnome-terminal" declare -x CTXMINIMAL="yes" declare -x DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-GagB6b6HXV,guid=66e95a0ba305ba645af20dad48aeff98" declare -x DESKTOP_SESSION="default" declare -x DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID="" declare -x DISPLAY=":0.0" declare -x GDMSESSION="default" declare -x GDM_LANG="en_US.UTF-8" declare -x GDM_XSERVER_LOCATION="local" declare -x GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID="Default" declare -x GNOME_KEYRING_PID="6056" declare -x GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET="/tmp/keyring-uBnsHP/socket" declare -x GPG_AGENT_INFO="/tmp/seahorse-OHgHbT/S.gpg-agent:6110:1" declare -x GTK_RC_FILES="/etc/gtk/gtkrc:/home/alan/.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2" declare -x HISTCONTROL="ignoreboth" declare -x HOME="/home/alan" declare -x HOMETEXMF="/nonexist" declare -x LANG="en_US.UTF-8" declare -x LESSCLOSE="/usr/bin/lesspipe %s %s" declare -x LESSOPEN="| /usr/bin/lesspipe %s" declare -x LOGNAME="alan" declare -x LS_COLORS="no=00:fi=00:di=01;34:ln=01;36:pi=40;33:so=01;35:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=40;31;01:su=37;41:sg=30;43:tw=30;42:ow=34;42:st=37;44:ex=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.svgz=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.lzma=01;31:*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.Z=01;31:*.dz=01;31:*.gz=01;31:*.bz2=01;31:*.bz=01;31:*.tbz2=01;31:*.tz=01;31:*.deb=01;31:*.rpm=01;31:*.jar=01;31:*.rar=01;31:*.ace=01;31:*.zoo=01;31:*.cpio=01;31:*.7z=01;31:*.rz=01;31:*.jpg=01;35:*.jpeg=01;35:*.gif=01;35:*.bmp=01;35:*.pbm=01;35:*.pgm=01;35:*.ppm=01;35:*.tga=01;35:*.xbm=01;35:*.xpm=01;35:*.tif=01;35:*.tiff=01;35:*.png=01;35:*.svg=01;35:*.mng=01;35:*.pcx=01;35:*.mov=01;35:*.mpg=01;35:*.mpeg=01;35:*.m2v=01;35:*.mkv=01;35:*.ogm=01;35:*.mp4=01;35:*.m4v=01;35:*.mp4v=01;35:*.vob=01;35:*.qt=01;35:*.nuv=01;35:*.wmv=01;35:*.asf=01;35:*.rm=01;35:*.rmvb=01;35:*.flc=01;35:*.avi=01;35:*.fli=01;35:*.gl=01;35:*.dl=01;35:*.xcf=01;35:*.xwd=01;35:*.yuv=01;35:*.aac=00;36:*.au=00;36:*.flac=00;36:*.mid=00;36:*.midi=00;36:*.mka=00;36:*.mp3=00;36:*.mpc=00;36:*.ogg=00;36:*.ra=00;36:*.wav=00;36:" declare -x MPMEMS="\$TEXMFOS/web2c{/\$engine,}" declare -x OLDPWD="/opt/context/tex" declare -x PATH="/opt/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin:/opt/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" declare -x PWD="/opt/context/tex" declare -x RUBYLIB="/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby:/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby:" declare -x SESSION_MANAGER="local/home:/tmp/.ICE-unix/6057" declare -x SHELL="/bin/bash" declare -x SHLVL="2" declare -x SSH_AUTH_SOCK="/tmp/keyring-uBnsHP/ssh" declare -x TERM="xterm" declare -x TEXFORMATS="\$TEXMFOS/web2c{/\$engine,}" declare -x TEXMF="{\$TEXMFPROJECT,\$TEXMFFONTS,\$TEXMFLOCAL,\$TEXMFOS,\$TEXMFCONTEXT,\$TEXMFEXTRA,!!\$TEXMFMAIN}" declare -x TEXMFCACHE="/opt/context/tex/texmf-cache" declare -x TEXMFCNF="\$TEXROOT/texmf{-local,-context,}/web2c" declare -x TEXMFCONTEXT="/opt/context/tex/texmf-context" declare -x TEXMFDBS="{\$TEXMFPROJECT,\$TEXMFFONTS,\$TEXMFLOCAL,\$TEXMFOS,\$TEXMFCONTEXT,\$TEXMFEXTRA,!!\$TEXMFMAIN}" declare -x TEXMFEXTRA="/opt/context/tex/texmf-extra" declare -x TEXMFFONTS="/opt/context/tex/texmf-fonts" declare -x TEXMFLOCAL="/opt/context/tex/texmf-local" declare -x TEXMFMAIN="/opt/context/tex/texmf" declare -x TEXMFOS="/opt/context/tex/texmf-linux" declare -x TEXMFPROJECT="/opt/context/tex/texmf-project" declare -x TEXMFVAR="/texmf-var" declare -x TEXROOT="/opt/context/tex" declare -x USER="alan" declare -x USERNAME="alan" declare -x VARTEXMF="/texmf-var" declare -x WINDOWID="52437808" declare -x WINDOWPATH="7" declare -x XAUTHORITY="/home/alan/.Xauthority" declare -x XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/usr/share/gdm/" declare -x XDG_SESSION_COOKIE="9ecb3383cfbad7bac2c96be048adcf2a-1219428246.634999-1846302211" alan@home:/opt/context/tex$ texexec --check TeXExec | current distribution: web2c TeXExec | context source date: unknown TeXExec | format path: /opt/context/tex/texmf-linux/web2c /opt/context/tex/texmf-linux/web2c TeXExec | start of analysis TeXExec | end of analysis TeXExec | TeXExec | TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD TeXExec | TeXUtil | version 9.1.0 - 1997-2005 - PRAGMA ADE/POD TeXExec | CtxTools | version 1.3.5 - 2004/2008 - PRAGMA ADE alan@home:/opt/context/tex$ ---> TeXExec | context source date: unknown !?
