Hi,
Do you have all the formats generated? (mptopdf etc.)
No. Thanks for the hint (the logfile also told me, I know now). It works now. The problem was that I use a system-wide setup and the $TEXMFCACHE tree was not writable by the users. I now introduced the »chmod« line, see below. I'm not an expert. This is how I update my system. Is this correct? Or can the metafun format also be generated by root, so I can remove the world write access? # sh first-setup.sh --extras=all # . /usr/local/share/context/tex/setuptex # cp luatex-0.52 /usr/local/share/context/bin/luatex # cp luatex-0.52 /usr/local/share/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin/luatex # chmod -R a+rwx /usr/local/share/context/te/texmf-cache # luatools --generate # texhash # context --make # texexec --make $ context test.tex BTW: Can I achieve that the luatex binary will not be overwritten by first-setup.sh? Thanks for your replies. marco
