Hi Pablo,

Your script doesn't have texroot set.

You either need to source ~/.profile (or whatever sets texroot) or
explicitly set it.

At the top of my compile script, I've got:

TEXROOT=/opt/context/tex/
TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-linux-64
export PATH=$TEXMFOS/bin:$PATH

I think the fact that you're sourcing setuptex but passing in $1 as a file
path is problematic, since setuptex eats $1 as the texroot.
