Hi,
Sometimes in June I was no longer able to compile context beta, running
into a problem that persists with the new stable (7-30-2010). Hans
suggested in response to a similar problem by someone else, to install
minimals. But this seems to me wasteful because I use parts of latex.
Running (with luatex version beta-0.62.0-2010080309 (rev 3794))
mtxrun --generate
gives this:
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/usr/bin'
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/usr'
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '.'
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to ''
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'TEXMF' set to ''
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'TEXOS' set to '/usr'
MTXrun | resolvers
MTXrun | resolvers: warning: no lua configuration files found
MTXrun | resolvers
MTXrun | resolvers
Should I be able to compile the current context under texlive 2009? If
so, how? If not, would it compile with the current version texlive 2010?
Many thanks,
Eythan

Almost. You need this file
http://minimals.metatex.org/current/misc/web2c/texmfcnf.lua
and it should go into <texlive>/texmf/web2c/ or somewhere else
where it can be found (any location where texmf.cnf will be found)
and then it should work, I think. But I cannot test this, so
be warned that it may not work.
Best wishes,
Taco

This helps somewhat.
It seems that the definitions
TEXMFOS = "$SELFAUTODIR",
TEXMFMAIN = "$SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf",
TEXMFCONTEXT = "$SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-context",
TEXMFLOCAL = "$SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-local",
TEXMFFONTS = "$SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-fonts",
TEXMFPROJECT = "$SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-project",
are not true for my case.
How do I set these variables so that things will work correctly?
Running "mtxrun --generate" spits this
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/usr/bin'
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/usr'
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '.'
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to ''
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'TEXMF' set to ''
MTXrun | resolvers: variable 'TEXOS' set to '/usr
No wonder that cont-en is not found when I run mtxrun --compile cont-en.
I would like "mtxrun --compile cont-en" to find the context distribution
within TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/share/texmf. Here is the directory
structure in /usr/local/share/texmf where I keep the context package.
In addition under /usr/share/texmf-texlive are all fonts that are used by
all things tex.
./
./fonts
./fonts/cid
./fonts/afm
./fonts/fea
./fonts/map
./fonts/data
./fonts/type1
./fonts/vf
./fonts/tfm
./fonts/pfm
./fonts/truetype
./fonts/enc
./fonts/misc
./doc
./doc/fonts
./doc/context
./doc/latex
./bibtex
./bibtex/bst
./ls-R
./metapost
./metapost/context
./context
./context/config
./context/data
./tex
./tex/context
./tex/generic
./tex/latex
./web2c
./web2c/context.cnf
./web2c/natural.tcx

Thank you,

Sorry, I cannot help any further. I have lots of installs here, but
not texlive 2009, and certainly not in a 'system bin directories'
setup. If you can switch to texlive 2010 pretest, life would be
quite simple, but I have no idea how to do something with your
system.
My own advise is therefore: install the context minimals next to
texlive 2009. which one is used depends on PATH and nothing else,
so you can have a minimals install that does not conflict with
the pre-existing texlive.
Best wishes,
Taco

The minimals are independent; also, you get the latest binaries with it.

the current release is not tl 2009 compatible and not even tl 2010
compatible as in the meantime multiple caches are supported and the
texmf.cnf file has been replaced by texmfcnf.lua (context specific setup)

I know, but I need more than context and I am not happy with the
duplication the installation of minimals entails.
I hope that correct configuration would bring things the way they were
just a month or two ago.
Thank you,
Eythan
