I tried to install the PocketDiary module but I had some problem. I follow the instruction at:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules
so first I copy the files in my texmf-local directory and after that I run:
You are storing the files according the Tex Directory Structure, right? Yes. The files are in following two directories.
/home/admich/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/third/pocketdiary/ /home/admich/texlive/texmf-local/doc/context/third/pocketdiary/ After mktexlsr texdoc find the documentation of the module: ~ $ texdoc -l pocket 1 /home/admich/texlive/texmf-local/doc/context/third/pocketdiary/t-pocketdiary.pdf 2 /home/admich/texlive/texmf-local/doc/context/third/pocketdiary/README.txt Please enter the number of the file to view, anything else to skip: The problem seems to be in how context find the files path. As you suggested I tried: ~ $ mtxrun --expand-var TEXMFLOCAL home/admich/texlive/texmf-local I think that the problem is here. It should be /home/admich/texlive/texmf-local
context --generate
but context didn't find the new module.
I use linux and I have installed texlive 2015 in my home directory, so my texmf-local directory is /home/admich/texlive/texmf-local
In the output of context --generate I noticed the following lines:
... resolvers | resolving | locating list of 'home/admich/texlive/texmf-local' (cached) resolvers | methods | resolving, method 'locators', how 'uri', handler 'file', argument 'home/admich/texlive/texmf-local' resolvers | files | file locator 'home/admich/texlive/texmf-local' not found ...
This seems not correct because is missing the initial / . For example the following lines are:
resolvers | resolving | locating list of 'selfautoparent:texmf-dist' (cached) resolvers | methods | resolving, method 'locators', how 'uri', handler 'file', argument 'selfautoparent:texmf-dist' resolvers | files | file locator 'selfautoparent:texmf-dist' found as '/home/admich/texlive/2015/texmf-dist' resolvers | resolving | ...
with the right initial /
kpathsea find the right $TEXMFLOCAL:
~$ kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL /home/admich/texlive/texmf-local
context (mkiv) does not use kpse (texmf.cnf) but uses the values stored it texmfcnf.lua. To check the value of TEXMFLOCAL use
mtxrun --expand-var TEXMFLOCAL
You can also try:
context --trackers=resolvers.\* filename
