Context doesn't work

Context doesn't work

[Michael Talbot-Wilson]

I've installed Context and attempted

$ texexec fig3_2.tex

The response is:

the file 'texexec.rb' is not found

setuptex was run and TEXROOT is correctly set.

texexec is:

#!/bin/sh
texmfstart texexec.rb "$@"

There seems to be nothing there which would enable the script to be
located.

Does texexec have to be changed to state the full path to the script?

Does that have to be done with anything else?

No, discovering the actual file is handled by texmfstart

You do not say where you got your context distribution from, making it
hard to give good advise. It could be as simple as: run

  $ mktexlsr

first.

Best wishes,
Taco
