Hi all...

Mark IV is a greatest technology but very very difficult to install :(. The
trouble is not context or metafun else luatex. There is not way humanly
possible to install it in gnu/linux/x86_64! Always I have some error :(...

I tried with packages (hardy heron, currently) but I have/get oldest
files/executables. I tested with minimals but luatex fail, always. I
downloaded 'justtex' and 'linuxtex' from 'pragma', I executed 'setup',
'ctxtools --update', 'texhash', 'luatools --generate', 'luatools --ini
--compile --verbose cont-en' and there is where is the problem. I show the
log.:

As it is logic, I have all variables correctly added ($TEXROOT, $TEXMF,
$TEXMFCACHE, etc, etc, etc), and ruby install it. The questions are.: Is the
some way to install/update/upgrade context/metafun/LUATEX on
gnu/linux/amd64? The error log, how is it solve? Should there not be a
standard method to install all this?...

Thanks :)

Hello,

These 2 methods work without any problem on my x86_64 GNU/Linux system:
- http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals
- http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/

(It's openSUSE-factory on amd-64.)

Cheers, Peter

Hi...

The installation of 'minimals' (
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals) generates the following
error.:

------------------------------ log file ------------------------------

/usr/bin/ruby

------------------------------ end log file ------------------------

And, again, it is not installable on gnu/linux/x86_64...

In other hand, the method used from http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/ seem very
good, but I cannot use it because I use a flavor such as debian (ubuntu) and
I do not know how to translate the instructions from rpm (texlive.spec
script) to deb...

Someday I will be able to install luatex and could use its enormous capacity
for fonts :). Meanwhile, I will continue using xe(la)tex :(...

Thanks for the help and greetings from Auria, Galicia, Spain

Try this
a) open in vi/vim first-setup-sh
b) apply these changes
:62s/$platform/linux-64
:66s/force/force\ --platform=linux-64
c) save
d) rerun first-setup.sh

Hi...

Many thanks for the help, I thought I could never use luatex. Again, thank
you very much :)...
