Re: [NTG-context] conTeXt distros on MACOSX

(Thanks Adam) Yessir, you're right. I had Fink. I suspect that the finked TeX derived form ancient lilypond, as I have not installed it explicitly via Fink. Now, Lily is no more related to TeX, and I have ImageMagick form Gierben, so I'm obliterating the sw tree. Best -a- On 8 Nov 2005, at 12:15, Adam Lindsay wrote:

If I invoke texexec from terminal, default is located in sw/bin. It's 3.1 version:

Danger! Danger! (Sorry, that's a bit cruel and extreme.) However, it seems that you, once upon a time, installed the Fink package system, and tried to get TeX along with it. Fink is notoriously "greedy" in the way it sets the path, and can live a long time on your system after you have forgotten it exists.

If you don't use any fink-installed packages, I suggest completely obliterating the /sw tree. If you can't get away with that, I suggest going through and deleting all tex-related binaries from the /sw/bin tree or making sure /sw/bin is inserted into your $PATH last, and not first.

(for those watching from the sidelines, Fink is a dpkg system for the Mac, but I have long disapproved of the way it goes about its business on people's systems) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
