Hello,

my customer has tried to install the current context minimal
installation (following my instructions :-/) and is running into the
following problem (I currently don't have more information but can ask for):

when running
  texexec --make --alone
he gets:

----SNIP----
unable to locate base/kpseremote on library paths:

/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/i686-linux
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby
/usr/lib/ruby/1.6
/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/i686-linux
.

/home/archiv/tex/texmf-linux/bin/texmfstart-lib

/home/archiv/tex/texmf/scripts/context/ruby
an option is to copy

  <texmf-local or texmf>/scripts/context/ruby/base

to e.g.

  <path of texmfstart script>/texmfstart-lib/base

Does someone have an idea what causes the problem?
