Same error here on OS X. And another question: I couldn't get my TEXMFHOME recognized under linux-32. One problem was that it is set to ~/texmf-home. I would suggest setting this value back to the canonical ~/texmf. (I had more problems, but I'll have to reboot into linux in order to verify).
OK, this problem is gone with the latest beta. The problem with the wrong value of TEXMFHOME persists. In a pristine texmfcnf.lua, this is set (l. 25)
TEXMFHOME = "~/texmf-home", -- "tree:///~/texmf
for mkii, however, it is set in texmf.cnf (l. 31)
TEXMFHOME = $HOME/texmf
why these two different values? I consider texmf-home as wrong.
because i dislike having a 'texmf' other than the main one anywhere (if only because it makes tracing a pain) .. i'll set it to texmf but will probably add some warnings in a future version
Moreover, when I set this to a sane value
TEXMFHOME = "/Users/tas/texmf", -- "tree:///~/texmf
and then re-run mtxrun --generate, I get this error:
MTXrun | MTXrun | fileio: scanning path 'tree:////Users/tas/texmf' /Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun:9094: cannot open tree:////Users/tas/texmf/: No such file or directory
strange as that should be intercepted. I'll see what my mac does with it when i hav eit up and running.
I have no idea what the notation 'tree:////' is supposed to do. /Users/tas/texmf does indeed exist and works with the beta before the scripts were changed. So I'm somewhat stymied.
tree:// is just one of the uri's supported (and permits loading files from some tree) and this scheme is autoinserted when no !! is used; the !! will become cache:// .. much of that is still experimental Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
