mtxrun can’t find the scripts

mtxrun can’t find the scripts

[Olivier Guéry]

Hello,

I still can't run
mtxrun --scripts fonts --mtxrun --reload the output give me :
MtxRun | unknown script: fonts

I tried with my context installation in /usr/share/texmf and with
context minimal.

Digging in my directories, I supose that thoses scripts are the mtx-*
in $LOCALTEX/scripts/context/lua
I can't run any of them (assuming that the syntax is mtxrun --scripts
{the name of the script without the « mtx- » prefix and « .lua »
sufix}).

I tried do chmod +x them… nothing

I haven't see problems in the install process… (exept that I must run,
ctxtools --update and texexec --make --all --{pdf,xe,lu}tex being
root, but my user don't have write rights on these directories, so…)
Any idear ?

Cheers,
Olivier.

you could also try "mtxrun --selfupdate" before you update the database

Thank's I find the problem reading to another post.
I had a TEXMF variable set to /usr/share/texmf
I unset it and it seems that mtxrun go well.
But strange isn't it ?

the problem can be that some distributions have hard coded paths and use 
autofoo and autoparentfoo magic

context mkiv ha sit sown file searching (kpse compatible) and it needs 
to know where to start looking which is why it needs TEXMFCNF and/or 
TEXMF and/or TEXMFCACHE
