Hans, Please pardon these very basic questions. Do I understand correctly that Context requires that a Ruby compiler that is not part of the TexLive package be installed? I had not previously heard of the Ruby language so know nothing about it. I assume that there are competing compilers/interpreters for the language and various releases of those compilers. Which compilers are compatible with TexLive? Does this compiler need to be installed in any particular directory?

Hans,
I didn't explicitly install ruby because I thought that was done automatically as part of the TexLive install. A ruby folder exists as c:\Program Files\texlive\2008\texmf-dist\scripts\context\ruby and has files in it. Where can instructions for installing ruby be found?
i normally google for one (there are a couple of installers, just take a native windows version) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ____________________________________________________________________________ _______ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ____________________________________________________________________________ _______
