The ConTeXt standalone is broken, running first-setup.sh (amd64-freebsd):

/usr/local/context/beta/bin/texlua: Undefined symbol "_ThreadRuneLocale"

From the internet, I can deduce that this means that the runtime libc does not match the compile time libc.

In particular, this seems relevant:

Yes, I forced a recompile locally (I am running 9.0, Mojca must have compiled on 9.1)

True. FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE

and then modified first-setup.sh NOT to re-sync luatex from the standalone server and the update then succeeded.

Strangely, the binary on the server worked yesterday. However, since then, an update of the ports updated pcre, notably, and this requires a recompile of many binaries. I suspect that this is the problem.

Interesting.

On TeXlive, many precautions are taken to produce "universal" binaries (i.e. freebsd 7.2)

But on the other hand, TeX Live has a much wider audience than ConTeXt does. I should check the logs, but I don't recall seeing that many users on (k)freebsd, and the ones who have it, use a recent version. I happily leave compilation of FreeBSD to you if my binaries don't work ;) Mojca
