Hi all.

I'm trying to use TiKz inside ConTeXt. It has not been working for some time...

I checked the messages from last month on the mailing list (late april, early may). Il didn't quit actually understand what was going on but I read that some files had to be updated. Maybe as a workaround, while waiting for a new LMTX format? Users reported it to work after some file updates.

So, because I was using a TeXlive package on Gnu/Archlinux, which might be updated only after a few months or a year, I followed the wiki and did a personal fresh install like this :

$ mkdir ~/.local/share/context
$ cd ~/.local/share/context
$ wget https://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx/context-linux-64.zip
$ unzip context-linux-64.zip
$ sh install.sh
$ rm context-linux-64.zip
$ cd ~/.local/share/context/tex
$ mtxrun --script install-modules --list
$ mtxrun --script install-modules --install tikz
(And for good measure, I later did `mtxrun --script install-modules --install all`)

$ cd my-working-directory
$ vi some-sample-context-file.tex
$ export PATH=/home/myname/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH
$ context some-sample-context-file.tex

Did I miss anything? It works just fine.

But with a TiKz picture included, a very simple one like this:
\usemodule[tikz]
\starttext
We are working on
\starttikzpicture
\draw (-1.5,0) -- (1.5,0);
\draw (0,-1.5) -- (0,1.5);
\stoptikzpicture.
\stoptext

It doesn't compile. The output begins with:

resolvers       | formats | executing runner 'run luametatex format': 
[...]

and ends with:

[...]
open source     > level 4, order 11, name 'pgf.cfg'
close source    > level 4, order 11, name 'pgf.cfg'
Driver file for pgf: pgfsys-luatex.def

This error message was generated by an \errmessage command, so I can't give any
explicit help. Pretend that you're Hercule Poirot: Examine all clues, and deduce
the truth by order and method.
mtx-context     | fatal error: return code: 1

The PATH is set correctly, this is not the output from using the regular TeXlive package which uses luatex, terminates because it doesn't understand \pgfsetxvec{\pgfpoint{1cm}{0cm}} and makes no reference to Hercule Poirot.

I ingenuously tried to explicitly set some formats in the file ~/.local/share/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgf.cfg but with no success.

Is it related to this issue: https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgf/issues/990 ?

Thanks in advance!...

Best regards
Jean-Guillaume
