Hi,

I have installed context package [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hu/lucid/context] in ubuntu. In theory it's the MKIV package. But when I run context I get:

MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

How can I fix it?

Did you run "luatools --generate"?

Yes I dit it.

The output is:

# luatools --generate LuaTools | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/usr/bin' LuaTools | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/usr' LuaTools | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '/' LuaTools | fileio: variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to '{$SELFAUTODIR,$SELFAUTOPARENT}{,{/share,}/texmf{-local,.local,}/web2c}' LuaTools | fileio: loading configuration file /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf

[...]

Looks OK to me -- at least it finds /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf and then looks in Ubuntu/Debian directories (/etc/texmf, /var/lib/texmf, etc).

The next step is to run the checks from the wiki's Debian page (program versions, ability to find files, etc.).

Did you have any previous TeX or ConTeXT installed on this system -- a common source of problems is intermingling multiple TeX systems (as opposed to keeping each one in a separate tree, which allows you to switch between a number of different systems).   Once you have verified that the right files are found you may want to file a bug report against the Ubuntu package.

I have installed - texlive - context - pgf packages. That's all.

So what's the problem? It seems perfect, isn't?

So there should be not be any conflicts with some other TeX disto. Are you able to run the various checks in the Debian wiki page? I have the same packages on my (amd64) system and context is working. Are you using 32-bit or the 64-bit Ubuntu, gnome or kde? When I run luatools --generate I get more files: LuaTools | fileio: scanning path '/usr/share/texmf' LuaTools | fileio: 8540 files found on 612 directories with 310 uppercase remappings LuaTools | fileio: scanning path '/usr/share/texmf-texlive' LuaTools | fileio: 17385 files found on 2747 directories with 722 uppercase remappings maybe some package dependency was missed. I use TL2010-pretest from CTAN, but ended up with texlive because something else (kile?) depends on it, so it is quite possible something dependency was left out in your installation. -- George N.
