Dear Sirs,
In my laptop I have the Suse linux 9.3. This distro has tetex 3, but I intend to update conTeXt . I tried already some ways, but without success: download an install (unpack and texexec --make --all) cont-tmf in the texmf directory, using texlive.spm (but I found a rsync time out error). I need urgently to make the update, but I do not know as to make it. Suggestions are welcome.
For "I urgently need to use new ConTeXt" the easiest way to explain is to download http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/justtex.zip http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/linuxtex.zip unzip them and then use cd tex . setuptex texexec --make --all and then compile your documents (from the same shell). But what exactly goes wrong if you overwrite your old files in "texmf" with the new ones from http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/beta/cont-tmf.zip and then try to run "texexec --make --all"? Missing environmental variables perhaps? There are many "Installation" pages on the wiki, so if they don't suit it's best to update them/add information about other possibilities and systems. Mojca
