4) I have also added '~/texmf/scripts/context/stubs/unix' to my path to make the stubs residing therein accessible on the command line.

'which texexec.rb' now returns ~/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb However, just calling 'texexec document.tex' does not work - NOTHING happens, new prompt, no errors. Same thing with 'texmfstart texexec.rb document.tex' - which is the command the 'texexec'-stub actually calls.
strange indeed, so what does texmfstart --verbose texexec.rb --verbose document.tex tell you
I'm at the end of my knowledge and intuition. Can anybody help circumventing the need for the monster 'ruby ~/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb document.tex'?
oh, we'll find a way, esp since it has worked on my linux boxes for a few years now Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
