Hi all, especially Mojca, I guess,
I have a somewhat bizarre problem with the setuptex script under the
latest Fedora and zsh (version 5.02). Here's what happens:
source ~/context/tex/setuptex
"/mnt/shared/context/tex" is not a valid TEXROOT path.
(There is no file "/mnt/shared/context/tex/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex")
provide a proper tex root (like '. setuptex /something/tex')
The script works under bash; the error under Fedora is the same on two
different computers, but I don't know if any other linux distribution
has the same version of zsh. Can anyone else test and see if they have
similar problems with zsh?
All best
Thomas

I would gladly help, but I don't know how zhs works and I didn't find
any hints during a quick search.
My suggestion would be to put
export PATH=$HOME/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH
or something similar into the file that you are sourcing.

Hi Mojca,
I'm happy to say that a recent update in Fedora solved the problem;
setuptex now works again. Bizarre, I still have no idea where the
problem came from...
All best
Thomas

A tiny, random hunch: zsh treats its built-in "source" command
differently from its "." command, and therefore sometimes one or the
other works better. It's worth trying ". ~/context/tex/setuptex" when
using zsh. However, I don't see really how it would have helped in this
situation, and on my machine either one works fine.
