Subject: Context install from Texlive2016 mtxrun problem
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 14:23:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4b17213c-d013-9095-e971-10ac684cd9cf@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

After several years away from Context, I would like to start using it 
again and encounter the following problem:

I am on a Fedora 25 system, 64bit machine and installed context from the 
rpm repositories via dnf.  The repositories contain a Texlive 2016 version.

I installed "texlive" and "texlive-context" from those repositories, and 
context works out of the box.

The problem is with mtxrun: it seems unable to find the scripts. The 
scripts are installed in

/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua

When I invoke "mtxrun --script" from any place, I get a "no script name 
given" without the expected list of available scripts
wheni I invoke the same from the scripts directory, I get the list of 
available scripts as expected.

When I invoke "mtxrun --script fonts --list --all" from any directory, I 
get "unknown script 'font.lua' or mtx-font.lua'
the same comand from the directory where the scripts are located gives 
"mtx-fonts.lua:135: attempt to index global 'fonts' (a nil value)"

Is this supposed to work out of the box, or do I still have to manually 
configure some details as in older texlive versions ?
(could not find anything in the context wiki or maillist that helps me 
to solve this problem)
