Hello,
Henning Hraban Ramm
I guess you’re lacking the main distribution package.
My installation (tree -dL 4, partly shortened):
. ├── bin (installation only) └── tex ├── texmf-cache (necessary, but auto-created?) │ ├── luametatex-cache │ │ └── context │ └── luatex-cache │ └── context ├── texmf-context (main tree) │ ├── colors
OK, I unpacked the main distribution in context/tex, set PATH and ran mtxrun --generate which output: resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/usr/home/rmason/context/tex/texmf-freebsd-amd64/bin' resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/usr/home/rmason/context/tex/texmf-freebsd-amd64' resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '/usr/home/rmason/context/tex' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to '' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMF' set to '' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXOS' set to 'texmf-freebsd-amd64' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | using configuration specification 'home:texmf/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-context/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/home/rmason/texmf/web2c' from specification 'home:texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/home/rmason/context/tex/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/home/rmason/context/tex/texmf-context/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-context/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/home/rmason/context/tex/texmf/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/home/rmason/texmf/web2c' from specification 'home:texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/home/rmason/context/tex/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/home/rmason/context/tex/texmf-context/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-context/web2c' resolvers | resolving | found fallback configuration file '/usr/home/rmason/context/tex/texmf-context/web2c/contextcnf.lua' resolvers | resolving | looking for fallback 'contextcnf.lua' on given path '/usr/home/rmason/context/tex/texmf/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | skipping configuration file 'selfautoparent:/texmf-context/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' (no valid format) resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF) resolvers | resolving | mtxrun | mtxrun | elapsed lua time: 0.041 seconds Looks like the unset TEXMF and TEXMFCNF envars are a problem. What should they be set to and where should they be set? Thanks, Roger
