TeXLive 2008 + ConTeXt problems (on Gentoo Linux)

TeXLive 2008 + ConTeXt problems (on Gentoo Linux)

[Matija Šuklje]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1502 bytes --]

Hullo,

it's been a while since I used ConTeXt (I simply didn't have to write any 
documents), but now that I upgraded to TeXLive 2008 I noticed that ConTeXt is 
giving me gripes.

'context test.tex' produces:
MtxRun | error unable to identify cnf file
MtxRun | error unable to identify cnf file
MtxRun | no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known)
MtxRun | unknown script: context

'texexec test.tex' actually produces a PDF.

'luatex test.tex' starts asking questions:
This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.30.3-2009041418 (Web2C 7.5.7)
(test.tex
! Undefined control sequence.
l.1 \starttext

?

...and later on produces a completely messed up PDF


'luatools --generate' produces:
LuaTools | error unable to identify cnf file
LuaTools | error unable to identify cnf file
LuaTools | no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known)
LuaTools |
LuaTools | runtime: 0.046 seconds


I'm sure there's a step I missed in the upgrade, but I have no idea what. I've 
already tried a few things from the Wiki, which I think resulted in 'texexec' 
actually working, but the rest is still foo.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?


Cheers,
Matija Šuklje

just use the version the context garden as it is more uptodate (and also 
provides the latest binaries)

I have nothing against TeXLive and I don't really want to mess with the 
bleeding edge. I just want it to work ;)

it's just that tex live 2009 will have an update feature while 2008 hasn't

(you probably have to do a fresh tl 2008 install then)

Hi Matija,

You need to set TEXMFCNF, TEXMFCACHE, and OSFONTDIR in your system environment,
for example in /etc/env.d/98texlive.


Best wishes,
Wei-Wei

Thanks. :)

E.g. what are appropriate values for these variables? I'll try to change them 
to my system's right paths, but I'd be grateful for some pointers where to 
start searching.


Cheers,
Matija

Hi,

- TEXMFCNF value should be /etc/texmf/web2c.
- TEXMFCACHE value is the directory chosen by yourself.
- OSFONTDIR value should be the paths of your system fonts.

Best wishes,
Wei-Wei
