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.
