Hi,
I am new on this list. I use pftex and would use ConTeXt installed with texlive/2007.
'ruby' and 'pdftex' work fine, but 'texexec' (texexec.rb "$@") is very slow.
Where con I get the doc or what shall I do ?
I do not know if this is related or not...but
Occasionally I also find that texexec is extremely slow. (Takes about a minute to initiate and then runs fine). This happens, when my internet connection is in a bad state (which means that ping to a server also time out). In that situation texmfstart takes ages to get a response from drb. Whenever I kill the process by ^C, the interupt is in the call to drb. I do not remember the exact interupt message, but I will try to get more information when this happens the next time. If I avoid texmfstart, ie, run ruby $TEXMFCONTEXT/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb directly, it runs fine.

"ruby $TEXMFCONTEXT/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb <texfile>" Haha ! with this tip I get an error message from 'pdftex' : libstdc++.so.5 ... No such file ... The libstdc++6 is installed. What can I do ?
