I'm just following some of the standalone installation instructions as per the wiki alongside a TeX Live installation, but there are a few things that don't add up or I can't seem to add them up :).
first, while I was trying to mtxrun --generate it returned
/usr/bin/env texlua no such file or directory
So I thought heck, perhaps by creating a symbolic link we'll call it a day, but that wasn't enough, nope.
This is is circa 21st century ladies and gentlemen!
so I thought, alright, since there seems ot be a a problem with texlua, let's also add it to path somehow.
Did you source the `setuptex` script, which sets the correct path.
Of course I sourced it and complains about plain.tex
So with that out of the way, we'll move on to the next step and change to a directory and try to call out mtxrun --generate again
It returns:
mtxrun --generate resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/home/ce/context/bin' resolvers | resolving | variable
This appears to be the wrong mtxrun binary. You should include the PATH variable listed as part of the installation. It should point to `/home/ce/context/texmf-linux-64/bin` or something similar.
binaries. Let's start over for the simple reason that texmfcnf.lua does not exist. Not through a TeX Live infrastructure only installation anyway. let's run ./install --modules=all and it rightly reports that mtx-update | updating mtxrun for linux-64: rsync -tgo --chmod=a+x '/home/ce/context-install/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua' '/home/ce/context-install/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun' mtx-update | run, rsync -tgo --chmod=a+x '/home/ce/context-install/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua' '/home/ce/context-install/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun' rsync: [Receiver] change_dir#3 "/home/ce/context-install/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at main.c(827) [Receiver=3.2.7] resolvers | tds | no 'texmf-linux-64' under tree '/home/ce/context-install/tex' Now. Let's add the directories, correct? If you were to look at the following resolvers | resolving | using configuration specification 'home:texmf/web2c;{selfautoloc:,selfautoloc:/share/texmf-local/web2c,selfautoloc:/share/texmf-dist/web2c,selfautoloc:/share/texmf/web2c,selfautoloc:/texmf-local/web2c,selfautoloc:/texmf-dist/web2c,selfautoloc:/texmf/web2c,selfautodir:,selfautodir:/share/texmf-local/web2c,selfautodir:/share/texmf-dist/web2c,selfautodir:/share/texmf/web2c,selfautodir:/texmf-local/web2c,selfautodir:/texmf-dist/web2c,selfautodir:/texmf/web2c,$SELFAUTOGRANDPARENT/texmf-local/web2c,selfautoparent:,selfautoparent:/share/texmf-local/web2c,selfautoparent:/share/texmf-dist/web2c,selfautoparent:/share/texmf/web2c,selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c,selfautoparent:/texmf-dist/web2c,selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c}' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/home/ce/texmf/web2c' from specification 'home:texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path '/home/ce/context-install/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin' from specification 'selfautoloc:' you'd notice that is looking over and over for a texmfcnf.lua But where is my texmfcnf.lua? Would you know? :) Because I don't. The only instance of a texmfcnf.lua dates back to a prepackaged installation that is no longer there anyway it points to a prepackaged texlive which I'm not using and not planning to. and what I have under TEXMFHOME which doesn't amount to much anyway , or what's important for the current issue is amiga-pl.tcx cp8bit.tcx il2-t1.tcx mktex.opt tcvn-t5.tcx cp1250cs.tcx empty.tcx kam-cs.tcx mktexdir texmf.cnf cp1250pl.tcx fmtutil-hdr.cnf kam-t1.tcx mktexdir.opt updmap-hdr.cfg cp1250t1.tcx fmtutil.cnf macce-pl.tcx mktexnam updmap.cfg cp227.tcx il1-t1.tcx macce-t1.tcx mktexnam.opt viscii-t5.tcx cp852-cs.tcx il2-cs.tcx maz-pl.tcx mktexupd cp852-pl.tcx il2-pl.tcx mktex.cnf natural.tcx which as you fully know, it doesn't help What is TeX Live infrastructure doing is the question It's besides the point to call out ./tlmgr install context here because mtx is no longer there anyway for what's worth Welcome to TeX Live!
