If you are in the directory of your document, what does
kpsewhich t-ancientgreek.tex
and
luatools t-ancientgreek.tex
return?

The fact that luatools is not working does not matter too much since you
are using mkii. But kpsewhich not returning anything means that ConTeXt
does not know where the greek module is, and hence cannot find it. Try
running
mktexlsr
and see if kpsewhich t-ancientgreek.tex returns a path to the file.

No it does not return a path.

We need more information:
1. What is your operating system? How do you set up TeXLive from the
CD? How do you set up the minimals?
2. Run the following commands and tell us the output:
echo $PATH
which kpsewhich
kpsewhich -expand-var '$TEXMF'
kpsewhich -expand-var '$TEXINPUTS'
which texhash
sudo texhash
As long as TeX can't find the module files, neither mkii nor mkiv will
work, so that's the first and most important point.

Having launched the apropriate file to my architecture (i-386-linux) I
chose the option R (run from CDwithout installing).
But now I put back again the texlive from Suse (pity because my disk
is falling short of space).

If memory serves right, SuSE has a few problems with its TeX setup: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080320.203129.aec3fb49.en.html
But this is not the problem now.

That's your problem: you now have several conflicting TeX installations.

As you can see here, the binaries from the minimals are not in your

This is a leftover from your SuSE TeX install.

Which means that only the TEXMF-trees of SuSE's installation are found.

This doesn't mean anything; TeX will always search the current
directory first, that's why the module is found. You have several ways
to proceed:
1. Use the minimals. In that case, you will have to set the directory
which contains the binaries for your platform FIRST in your path
variable. Assuming you are using bash, a command like this should do
this:
PATH="/home/adsm/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin:$PATH"
export PATH
Then, to be sure, run
echo $PATH
again. If all goes well, you should now see /home/adsm/context/tex/
texmf-linux/bin as first item in your $PATH. The binaries here will be
found first and thus used. Try the commands with "kpsewhere" and
"which" again (the ones in my previous mail). ConTeXt should now be
able to find the module. If this works, we'll tell you how to make
these changes happen automatically at login.
2. Use the SuSE TeX installation. In that case, you'll need to modify
the texmf.cnf that SuSE installs. Possible, but maybe a bit
overwhelming for a newbie, not recommended. (The only advantage is
that in this case, TeX would be controlled by SuSE's package manager,
but since the SuSE team are not overly interested in TeX and don't do
frequent updates, this is not a real advantage.)
3. TeXLive 2008 will be out in a few days. If space is an issue on
your system, you may not want to install it since it's pretty big, but
it's what I use, and it's pretty straightforward. You have almost
everything you'll ever need (ConTeXt, LaTeX, fonts, packages such as
tikz, etc.), and the 2008 edition will include an update manager. The
decisive step is again to put the path pointing to the TeXLive
binaries first in your $PATH variable.
You're just two steps away from success, so don't give up!
Thomas

Humm.. that twists my brains. I commented the variable pointing to the
binaries of TeXLive CD in ~/.profile
Anyway...

They seem two steps of giant for me (so far I have processed only one file
with context, a pretty large one, 60 pp., but limiting myself to
elementary features).
I think I will move away to Ubuntu or some other distro. At the moment I
am unhappy with Suse (for other reasons than Tex).
For now I will give you a break (going on holiday).
Any advice about Tex friendly distros?
Thanks

Well, I can only say this: My best experiences for "out of the box"
functionality are from Ubuntu. Like Debian, they have taken TeXlive and
broken it up into a number of packages to allow for some installation
options and less bloat. Of course, you have the typical Linux ideology
thing going on, so they also take whatever the DFSG thinks to be
"non-free" and separate it out as its own package. Then they gzip the
docs so you have to gunzip them if you want to use Acrobat, for example.
MacTeX on OS X is really done quite well. I have no complaints. But you
need a Mac, or forget it.
I like FreeBSD, but its ports system does not seem to have the same
philosophy as TeXlive, or there are just too few working on it there. I
mean, if Debian can do it, why don't the clever duckies just look at a
few build scripts... So there you either have to use the prebuilt
FreeBSD binaries and install it yourself or build it from source, which
I rather like to do anyway. I haven't tried on the other BSD's.
I have generally found the Redhat family to be increasingly irksome for
a number of reasons, not the least of which are SELinux and YUM. The
same goes for SUSE, where YaST is king. I stopped using them before I
moved from TeTeX. I am intrigued by Gentoo and its portage, but haven't
tried it. And, just for grins, you can run good ole TeX on Plan 9.
My last MikTeX experience yielded non-portable DVI files, that meaning
all DVI viewers under Linux that I tried could not read a DVI generated
by MikTeX. I think PDF works, though. But it's Microsoft . . .

Ahm - has Ubuntu done anything or are they just using the wonderful
Debian packages?

OpenBSD has a very good TL port; AFAIK the other BSDs are catching up.

I use texlive on Slackware. It also allows you to pick and choose what
you install. My files end up in
/usr/local/texlive/2007
Slackware has the tetex package in the Slackware distro but I always
eliminate that one. It is quite obsolete.
