Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

Thank you very much for your replies. I have now tried this, both with --context=beta, --context=current, and without a --context flag, and the result is always the same. The command $ sh ./first-setup.sh --context=current --modules=all --engine=luatex returns many errors before giving the error message described. I installed ConTeXt in $HOME/context/ Below are the requested outputs. (My home directory has been replaced by [$HOME] in the outputs.) Note that the first command hung. $ cat $(kpsewhich context.mkiv) | grep edef.contextversion warning: kpathsea: configuration file texmf.cnf not found in these directories: /sw/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf. ^C $ echo $PATH /Users/[$HOME]/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:/Users/[$HOME]/context/tex/texmf-osx-64:/Users/[$HOME]/texmf/scripts/context/lua:/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua:/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin: $ which luatex /Users/[$HOME]/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/luatex $ which context /Users/[$HOME]/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/context $ export | grep TEX declare -x TEXMF="/Users/[$HOME]/.texmf-config:/Users/[$HOME]/.texmf-var:/Users/[$HOME]/Library/texmf:/sw/etc/texmf-config:/sw/var/lib/texmf:/sw/share/texmf-local:/sw/share/texmf:/sw/share/texmf-dist" declare -x TEXMFCACHE="/tmp" declare -x TEXMFCNF="/sw/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf" declare -x __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING="0x1F6:0x0:0x0" $ Best regards, Bruce

Dear ntg-context@ntg.nl:

I am new to ConTeXt, so if this is not a very good question, please accept my apologies in advance. I first tried sending this message to the help address at contextgarden.net, and the reply I received suggested that this list would be the more appropriate venue.

I am trying to install ConTeXt on my Mac, and am following the StandAlone ConTeXt instructions on the page:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mac_Installation#Installing_MacTeX

I installed MacTeX without problem, and then tried to follow the instructions for Standalone ConTeXt. At the end of Section 3.2 on that page, when I tried to execute the command:

sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all --engine=luatex

it ran for a minute or so, but ultimately gave me the error message copied below.

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.85.0 (TeX Live 2016/dev) (rev 5550) (INITEX) system commands enabled. (/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-en.mkiv (/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.mkiv (/sw/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/syst-ini.mkiv ! Undefined control sequence. l.842 \pdfminorversion \plusfive ?

It might help to give us a bit more details. To me this sounds as if the wrong (some old) version of ConTeXt is being used. You already said that you didn't use --context=current. It might be that you have installed ConTeXt with Fink and that the old version from Fink is somehow taking precedence.

Can you please tell us where you installed the minimals and the output of: $ cat $(kpsewhich context.mkiv) | grep edef.contextversion $ echo $PATH $ which luatex $ which context $ export | grep TEX
