Hallo, gentlemen.
I've just tried to install the latest stable ConTeXt minimals on my new system (SuSE Linux 11.1). The system downloaded itself (via rsync) all right, but it isn't able to create formats (MarkII; I don't know how to use MarkIV). If I try run texexec --make --all manually, I get this error: ...<TEXROOTDIR>/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun:8707: attempt to concatenate a nil value
It's counter-intuitive, but I'm afraid that "stable" might be a bi broken at the moment. Hans has "recently" (for ConTeXt time scale that would be iron-age) replaced some ruby scripts by lua scripts (texmfstart by mtxrun) and now even mkii depends on luatex, but since we only provide a single luatex binary at the moment, it either breaks current or beta. I should have fixed that, but not now. Possible solutions: 1.) just take the beta (easiest); most recent problems only affect mkiv users; there are almost no changes in mkii, so you should be on the safe side 2.) create a new texexec with "texmfstart texexec" instead of "mtxrun texexec" and make sure that it comes first in path 3.) fetch an older luatex; there should be one at something like http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/linux/luatex/beta-0.31.3/, but the one for linux-64 is missing for unknown reason (the plan is to fix it ...) I didn't try any of the 2/3 options, I'm just blindly guessing. Mojca
