textools --fixtexmftrees : parse error !

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi,

being a dumb Mac-user I ran into problems using "textools --fixtexmftrees":

[powerbook:scripts/context/ruby] himmelblau% ruby 
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/textools.rb --fixtexmftrees ~/Library/texmf
-:1: parse error
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/textools.rb --fixtexmftrees ~/Library/texmf
          ^

I also tried:

[powerbook:scripts/context/ruby] himmelblau% ruby
textools --fixtexmftrees ~/Library/texmf --force
-:1: parse error
textools --fixtexmftrees ~/Library/texmf --force
                          ^

I have know idea what that means...

What is wrong with the command I used?

Steffen

Same bad results:

[powerbook:~] steffen% sudo ruby
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/textools.rb --fixtexmftrees /home/steffen/Library/texmf
-:1: parse error
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/textools.rb --fixtexmftrees /home/steffen/Library/texmf
          ^
and

[powerbook:~] steffen% sudo ruby
Password:
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/textools.rb --fixtexmftrees /Users/steffen/Library/texmf
-:1: parse error
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/textools.rb --fixtexmftrees /Users/steffen/Library/texmf
          ^


But I thought, the fact that the latest context update doesn't find files in my old tetex set anymore, is related to the map files, no?
So shouldn't it be /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local instead of /Users/steffen/Library/texmf ?

Nevertheless it again provides the same error:

[powerbook:~] steffen% sudo ruby
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/textools.rb  --fixtexmftrees /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local
-:1: parse error
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/textools.rb  --fixtexmftrees /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local
          ^

So it seems as if I something fundamental is wrong/missing?
