TeXshow failing

TeXshow failing

[Willi Egger]

Hi Hans,

Don't know where to fix this:
When I try to run texshow from the command line the following error occurs:

Empty compile time value given to use lib at 
c:/mytex/texmf/scripts/context/perl
/texshow.pl line 42
Can't locate cont_mis.pm in @INC (@INC contains:  C:/Program 
Files/Perl/lib C:/P
rogram Files/Perl/site/lib .) at 
c:/mytex/texmf/scripts/context/perl/texshow.pl
line 65.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at 
c:/mytex/texmf/scripts/context/perl/texshow
.pl line 65.

I wonder why texexec.pl is looking for the cont_mis.pm in the Perl 
directory, while it resides in the same directory as texexec.pl itself?

When starting texshow within Scite it fails to come up. I believe that 
it is the same problem though.

Could you please have a look into this?

Kind regards Willi

That's Perl's default error message if it can't find something. Files 
in the actual directory are always found first.
But probably you weren't in the same dir as texshow?

You could copy the Perl module (.pm) into a dir that is searched by 
Perl, or try to include ConTeXt's script dir in Perl's INC path (sorry, 
I forgot where it is set).

Grüßlis vom Hraban!
