Same running via sudo In general, it is a bad idea to run context tools using sudo. [1] >> 2. Something is messed up in $HOME/texmf or $HOME/.texlive2012.

If so try moving those as well. Otherwise, it could be because of some shell variable that you set (that is not set for a new user). Try starting with a clean .rc. Aditya [1] Traditional TeX tools provide a -sys version,(e.g., fmtutil and fmtutil-sys, updmap and updman-sys, etc.) that is to be run by the system administrator. Context tools do not provide any such version, so `sudo mtxrun ...` is equivalent to creating files for the root user. As such, for a multi-user installation, you should avoid running sudo mtxrun etc. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
