Re: [NTG-context] mswincontext.zip

Idris, Thanks. I'm a Mac person at home now, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to give this a try on a windows machine at school. What I'll try (unless I get further advice from this list) is download mswincontext.zip again, uninstall it, and NOT run first-setup.bat. Regarding Ruby, I am looking at this page: http://www.ruby-lang.org/ en/downloads/, where it seems like I have two options: http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/29263/ruby186-26.exe And: ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/ruby-1.8.7-i386- mswin32.zip Not sure I see anything on this page about "without RubyGems." Any advice? D. On Aug 26, 2008, at 6:08 PM, Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد wrote:

All,

A bit frustrated as I cannot seem to get a mswincontext scite combination going. I gave up on: http://pragma-ade.com/context/install/mswintex.zip. I got absolutely nowhere with the installation and trying to connect scite.

So, I just downloaded: http://pragma-ade.com/context/install/mswincontext.zip

After extracting to c:\context, I ran the file first-setup.bat, which proceeded to install a lot of files. Was this a correct thing to do?

Not sure, but I did not do it :-)

Strange, as the distribution size was already huge. It would really help to have a readme.txt in this distribution with installation directions.

After first-setup was complete, I ran cscite.bat. Scite opened. Good! I entered the usual test file:

\starttext Hello, World! \stoptext

And saved as test.tex.

Then I tried Tools->Compile, which resulted in this error mesage:

texmfstart concheck test.tex ruby: no such file to load--ubygems (LoadError)

Reinstall Ruby without RubyGems. That worked for me.

Best wishes Idris
