Re: [NTG-context] error updating beta WAS: beta

More experiments, I am not one to be so easily defeated by software. Retrieved some old beta's, each time I start a context run then it results in the loadfilemarkerror. But I can find several formats lying around: /Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/c180539b697aa06758debbc1182817e4/formats/cont-en.fmt /Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/c180539b697aa06758debbc1182817e4/formats/cont-nl.fmt /Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta/tex/texmf-osx-64/web2c/pdftex/cont-en.fmt /Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta/tex/texmf-osx-64/web2c/pdftex/cont-nl.fmt /Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta/tex/texmf-osx-64/web2c/xetex/cont-en.fmt /Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta/tex/texmf-osx-64/web2c/xetex/cont-nl.fmt Apparently none of them found! Vide this first message: MTXrun | warning: no format found, forcing remake (commandline driven) Here for inspection my .bashrc settings relevant to TeX. Could there be something amiss with these? # TeX export TEXLIVE=/usr/local/texlive/2010 export TEXPRIVATE=$HOME/TeX/My-TeXLib export TEXMINIMAL=$HOME/TeX/ConTeXt/beta export TEXPATH=$TEXMINIMAL/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin export TEXMFDBS=$TEXMINIMAL #$TEXMINIMAL/tex/setuptex export TEXMF=$TEXMINIMAL Note: inserting the hashed out line doesn't make a difference. I append here the full terminal output below, just in case. Hans van der Meer On 2 feb 2011, at 18:21, Hans van der Meer wrote:

More weird things I am afraid. Experimenting somewhat, I removed the texmf-cahce and did mtxrun --generate. The first messages is: "/Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta" and its permissions are: "drwxrwxr-x 7 hans staff 238 2 feb 17:48 beta/" idem of the parent directory: "drwxr-xr-x 13 hans staff 442 2 feb 10:36 ../"

120 beta: mtxrun --generate shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory

Something wrong here? Something I can/should repair?

Did remove texmf-cache and ran mtxrun --generate. Still get on context --make en the error: ! I can't find file `catc-ini.mkiv'. <to be read again> \relax l.76 \loadmarkfile{catc-ini}

Please type another input file name:

Strange, doing (running MacOSX 10.6.6, beta is the directory in which context is installed):

102 beta: mktexlsr mktexlsr: Updating /Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta/ls-R... mktexlsr: Done. 103 beta: kpsewhich catc-ini.mkiv /Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/catc-ini.mkiv 104 beta:

File is there. Checked again that "context --make en" runs into the same error. delete the cache and $> mtxrun --generate --
