I have installed context-2011 as part of a system-wide texlive-2011 installation on Gentoo. Following various guides, I have done the following as a normal user: 1) rm -r ~/.texlive 2) luatools --generate 3) mtxrun --generate 4) context --make cont-en 5) context --generate But I get the following error when running "context --version": mtx-context | main context file: unknown, 'context.mkiv' not found But I have context.mkiv installed in /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/ The 2011 version of context no longer has a "context.tex" file in the main CONTEXT distribution zipfile http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip In outdated guides, it was mentioned that "context.tex" contained the version string. I have posted to the Gentoo-forums for help http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6875338.html#6875338 but I don't know wherein the problem lies.
