installing latest beta

installing latest beta

[Alan Bowen]

I have been unable to install the latest ConTeXt beta—both
sudo texhash
sudo
fail (stall) when updating  /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/ls-R...

The last beta worked as expected and, so far as I know, there have  
been no changes in my installation.

Any suggestions?

Alan

* disk full perhaps ?
* download failure or problems during unzip of cont-tmf.zip ?
* ls-R write permission error (maybe network access) ?

I did some basic housecleaning of caches and so forth and tried again.

sudo texhash now works, though it took 10 minutes (as opposed to the  
usual 30 seconds). No idea why.
sudo texexec --make --all ran as expected.

Anyway all I needed was patience. Sorry to impose on yours.
