texexec ruby problem

texexec ruby problem

[Michal Kvasnicka]

Good morning.

I've just installed new ConTeXt (ver: 2006.08.08 21:51) under SuSE 10.1
Linux. I tried to make ruby version of texexec working, but I failed.
When I try to run it, I get this error message:

/usr/share/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:10:in `require': no
such file to load -- base/switch (LoadError)
        from /usr/share/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:10

Can you tell me what package should I install? And is there any
difference between the perl and the ruby texexecs?

Your sincerely
Michal Kvasnicka

How did you install it?  What was there before?  It sounds like the
new one isn't visible, since it's date is 2007.01.12 15:56 (or maybe
later).  Is 2006.08.08 the version that came with SuSE?

What does

  kpsewhich cont-new.tex

do?  And what's the modification time of that file:

  kpsewhich cont-new.tex | xargs ls -lt

Also try 'locate cont-new.tex' and see where they live, and maybe also

  kpsewhich cont-new.tex | xargs grep -H '200[67]' 

to see the filenames and the versions they think of themselves as.

How are you running it?

You might also try Peter's new texlive rpm

depends on how you cal texexec 

texmfstart texexec .... 

should work ok 

(texmfstart --make --linux will make stubs for you if they are not yet  present)
