context installation on Windows XP

context installation on Windows XP

[Philip Brown]

I am having touble installling CONTEX (and metafun) on Windows XP. I downloaded and installed Texlive. I am able to run Latex and some other programs, but I tried various ways, unsuccesfully, to run context. For example I tried running 
texmfstart texexec.rb hello.tex 
and some other combinations, and nothing happened. 
 
 I went to the PRAGMA-ADE website and downoaded cont-tmf into the texmf-local directory and unzipped it. Then I tried 
texexec -make -all
and a few other combinatins and nothing happened.
 
I have Perl v5.10 installed, and I use editor EMACS with AUCTEX
 
assistance would be much appreciated,
 
Philip Brown

It looks like you are missing Ruby ( http://www.ruby-lang.org )
