Dear Folks,
I am a LaTeX user trying out ConTeXt for the first time. I am running TeXLive 2010 (full scheme) on a x86_64-linux platform. I have visited
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV
and put the instructions there into an executable file:
--- #! /bin/bash # # Manual update for ConTeXt in TeXLive 2010 as suggested at # # http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV #
# Update ConTeXt
rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/current/ /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/
# Update LuaTeX
rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/luatex/linux-64/bin/luatex /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/x86_64-linux/
# Run equivalent mktexlsr
luatools --generate context --make context --make cont-en ---
The last output lines after running this file are:
--- LuaTools | runtime: 1.610 seconds .../2010/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua:985: attempt to call upvalue 'make_mkiv_format' (a nil value) .../2010/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua:985: attempt to call upvalue 'make_mkiv_format' (a nil value) ---
I used to update TeXLive 2009 successfully with this method, however I ran into the same error when updating TeXLive 2010. As I did not succeed and could not figure out what caused the error I installed minimals without problems. I suggest you install minimals and point the environment variable OSFONTDIR to your TeXLive tree. This adds only about 200MiB to your disk which is rather neglectable compared to the 2.7GiB of a full TeXLive.
When I compiled a trivial file called first.tex using
texexec first
I got in the output, inter alia, --- ConTeXt ver: 2010.07.30 11:35 MKII fmt: 2010.10.5 int: english/english ---
Why am I not seeing Mk-IV yet?
