Hi I am putting this under a new subject to distangle presumably distinct issues. Hans van der Meer schrieb:
Additionally, there is a mysterious line in the end:
warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead
Now, when I do
UMac:~/Projekte/ConTeXt/uma$ texmfstart texexec --pdf main
I get a
-bash: texmfstart: command not found
Any ideas?
What I did was:
1. adding some aliases to the file .bashrc: alias texmfstart=texmfstart.rb alias texversion='texmfstart texexec --version' etc., the first one being the important one. 2. ensuring that the scripts are executable with: cd .../texmf-local-..../context/ruby (sudo) chmod -R a+x *.rb execute this in terminal as a user with administrator priveliges.
Hope this will help you on the way.
Well sort of. I tried your way and got texmfstart.rb not found So it doen't seem to be on the path. Now if I call the ruby script directly, it bails out somewhere in the middle: UMac:~/Projekte/ConTeXt/ uma$ /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb texexec --pdf main /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb:977: nested method definition def the_same(filter,filename) ^ /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb:981: nested method definition def the_same(filter,filename) ^ (N.B. I have a yesterday i-installed full teTeX + ConTeXt + LaTeX + ... on a Mac OS X 10.3.9.) Bye & Thanks you for the help! -- Ulf Martin
