However, just calling 'texexec document.tex' does not work - NOTHING happens, new prompt, no errors. Same thing with 'texmfstart texexec.rb document.tex' - which is the command the 'texexec'-stub actually calls.
You should try perhaps export RUBYLIB=~/texmf/scripts/context/ruby Using teTeX-3.0, here is what I've done to switch from perl texexec to the ruby one: chmod +x /opt/teTeX/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb cd /usr/local/bin ln -s /opt/teTeX/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb texmfstart copy these 3 lines into /opt/teTeX/bin/texexec: #!/bin/sh export RUBYLIB=/opt/teTeX/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby exec texmfstart texexec.rb "$@" One remark for the texexec developer: it seems, when searching for executables, the order in $PATH is not respected. For example: I had /opt/teTeX/bin/dvips and /usr/bin/dvips and PATH=/opt/teTeX/bin:... but it was /usr/bin/dvips that was called to create the PS-file. (Not a big problem, I've just removed /usr/bin/dvips...) Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
