I found out that while trying to install the latest ConTeXt over whatever came with texlive2003-inst-20030928.iso, I screwed up somewhere and ConTeXt would not even generate me a pdf file with cmr fonts.
So here is what I did.
1) I deleted everything about TeX from my system 2) Installed TeXLive from the iso with default options. I did not change anything. Just accepted the defaults. 3) I did not install the latest ConTeXt. I think I will be fine with whatever comes with TeXLive as of Sept, 2003. 4) Now I can generate a hello world pdf file with cmr fonts just fine.
an alternative is: mkdir /usr/local/mytex cd /usr/local/mytex wget http://www.pragma-ade.com/contextt/linuxtex.zip.bz2 bunzip2 linuxtex.zip.bz2 unzip linuxtex chmod -R 755 . setuptex /usr/local/mytex mktexlsr texexec --make --alone --all every time after that . /usr/local/setuptex /usr/local/setuptex should give you a minimal context tree (i develop on a windows machine, so that is the tree we use on the linux application servers) (take a look at cont-sys.tex to see how we set up our context) (there is also mswintex.zip.bz2 and macosxtex.zip.bz2) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
