Hi, according to the wiki “ConTeXt minimals does not touch anything outside its installation folder”, but if TEXMFCACHE is not set by setuptex, actually many files may be written outside the ConTeXt minimals folder, and (as in my case) they may conflict with the files written by ConTeXt from TeX Live in the same cache folder.
Is there any reason why exporting TEXMFCACHE is commented out in setuptex?
The variable TEXMFCACHE is set in tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua and that one should do the job. Under usual circumstances at least. If that one is not being respected, something might be wrong. Do you have any other texmfcnf.lua file somewhere else? (Note that you are also free to rename setuptex and modify it according to your own needs, but it makes sense to debug this first.) Mojca
