hi, i'm currently running the context beta from 07.07.2008 with the windows minimals from 10.07.2008. all my (quick) tries to update to a later beta version have failed. my main problem is, that luatools.lua doesn't work properly any more; if i start 'luatools --generate' inside eshell (zshell clone?) the program simply hangs (does nothing). if i use the normal dos box with setuptex.bat i get ----- R:\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\lua>luatools --generate LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOLOC set to r:/tex/texmf-mswin/bin LuaTools | variable SELFAUTODIR set to r:/tex/texmf-mswin LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOPARENT set to r:/tex LuaTools | variable TEXMFCNF set to r:\tex\texmf{-local,-context,}/web2c LuaTools | loading r:/tex/texmf-context/web2c/texmf.cnf LuaTools | loading r:/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf Should I create the cache path r:/tex/texmf-cache?

[yes|no] [no] fatal error: there is no valid (writable) cache path defined ----- mh, the path r:/tex/texmf-cache is already present and writable. also it doesn't have any effect if i answer yes or no. best wishes, peter ----------------------------- You give a man an inch and he thinks he is a ruler.
