Subject: Installation of ConTeXt within TeTeX 3.0
Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 10:43:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A78B8B834217341AA3152A47BB3C447013EECBF@CAPITACAREXCH01.central.ad.capita.co.uk> (raw)
I've been trying to install ConTeXt (ver 2005.08.31) within teTeX 3.0,
installed from source exactly as described in
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation
but have run into problems.
Everything goes smoothly until I get to the section entitled 'Install
the zip archive'.
When I type 'texexec -make -all' I get the following error (after much
other output):
language : patterns da for da loaded (n=6)
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/tex/context/patterns/lang-da.pat
! Nonletter.
l.24 .s[
aring]3
?
I tried simply responding 'R' to continue running silently but when I
come to the next step:
cp -a /root/.texmf-var/web2c/*
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c
The .texmf-var/web2c folder is empty, so nothing useful gets copied.
Currently, typing 'texexec --version' gives me the following:
TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-
2005
texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-
2004
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt cont-en.fmt
fmtutil: no info for format `cont-en'.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt
fmtutil: no info for format `context'.
tex : unknown
context : ver: 2005.01.31
cont-en : unknown
which indicates to me that I should start again from scratch.
I have followed the instructions in the above-mentioned Wiki page to the
letter (although I wouldn't necessarily know if something had gone
astray
along the way given the complexity of TeX/ConTeXt etc.) This includes:
* removing the default TeTeX installation in Fedora Core 4
* installing TeTeX from the latest source package
* installing pdfetex update
* installing MetaPost update
* installing Latin Modern Font update
Could anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks in advance.
