Re: error messages after installation

[Willi Egger]

Hi,

The delivered TeX distributions with Linux are mostly way too old. If 
you look at the messages given by your texexec run you can see it already.
TEXEXEC is way too old. The current version is above 5!
After updating your context it appears that it uses still a very 
outdated version of texexec. I advise you to update your tex-system from 
CTAN (http://www.tug.org/interest.html).

Have a look at this (Well its about XP) .. But who knows, it could help :=)

http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20041115.161341.884a23e7.html

In fact it is a kind of complete distribution that handles Context ..

I think TEXEXEC 3.1 is still the latest version. what are new are the context macros.

Hi, I am trying to keep my context up-to-date, and so I installed the
new cont-tmf in my ~/texmf directory, and I get the following:

% texexec 041120_testfile.tex
Not enough arguments for mkdir at /usr/people/pm/bin/texexec line 2259,
near "$FormatPath ;"
Execution of /usr/people/pm/bin/texexec aborted due to compilation
errors.

My previous context was from 2003-12-18 and my tex is tetex 2.0.2. This
is on Irix 6.5. 

I have no sense of what to do to fix this error, any advice will be
appreciated.

there should be something:

     if ($UseEnginePath && ($FormatPath ne '' && ($FormatPath !~ 
/$EnginePath\/$/))) {
         $FormatPath .= $EnginePath . '/' ;
         unless (-d $FormatPath) {
             mkdir $FormatPath ;
         }
     }

I believe it is possible that this code

>          $FormatPath .= $EnginePath . '/' ;
>          unless (-d $FormatPath) {

breaks in perl versions < 5.8.0 because of the trailing slash in the mkdir call.
It would be great if someone could verify if

	mkdir "test/" ;

actually fails in 5.004/5.005/5.6.x (perl58delta seems to hint at that).
If so, then probably changing the second line to read:

          $FormatPath .= $EnginePath ;

will fix the bug.

ah, thanks for looking into it, i changed the code to:

     if ($UseEnginePath && ($FormatPath ne '' && ($FormatPath !~ 
/$EnginePath\/$/))) {
         $FormatPath .= $EnginePath ;
         unless (-d $FormatPath) {
             mkdir $FormatPath ;
         }
         $FormatPath .= '/' ;
     }

Hi,

I changed my texexec.pl to read 

    if ($UseEnginePath && ($FormatPath ne '' && ($FormatPath !~
    /$EnginePath\/$/))) {
        $FormatPath .= $EnginePath ;
        unless (-d $FormatPath) {
            mkdir $FormatPath ;
        }
        $FormatPath .= '/';
    }

    return $FormatPath;
}

and I still get the error:

pm@antonio 62% texexec 041121_table.tex
Not enough arguments for mkdir at /usr/people/pm/bin/texexec line 2259,
near "$FormatPath ;"
Execution of /usr/people/pm/bin/texexec aborted due to compilation
errors.

Thank-you

Re: error messages after installation

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi,


How about:

	mkdir ("$FormatPath") ;

(I cannot test, I do not have a perl that is sufficiently antique to test this)

Hi,

I modified texexec.pl per your suggestion and continue to get the same
error message:

Not enough arguments for mkdir at /usr/people/pm/bin/texexec line 2259,
near ""$FormatPath") "

[I'm not sure why the error message drops the opening parentheses, but
it is there in the file]

Thanks again for your help.

can't you update you rperl to 5.8+?

That is what I have, assuming whitespace, linebreaks and indentation
are unimportant (please forgive my ignorance).
