I've followed the instructions listed at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation, but it won't quite give. The problem is that I use the Gentoo installation setup as a base and have the latest ConTeXt installed in /usr/local/share. Does anyone know what options to pass to pdftex's configure-script to match the setup on a Gentoo system (where stuff is stored in /etc/texmf and /var/lib/texmf)?
It would be simplest (and definately justified) to ask this to the Gentoo maintainer, because (s)he has apparently succeeded in setting that up (Gentoo's trees seem to bear only a passing resemblance to teTeX and would be more accurately called Gentoo-TeX).
Sadly, there's no separate pdfetex ebuild for Gentoo. If there was, I wouldn't have to mess with this :-).
My best guess: find the non-etc version of texmf.cnf (I'm fairly certain there is one), and attempt to pass the root of texmf tree that contains it as --datadir to the configure script.
Yes, there's one in /var/lib/texmf/web2c. The reason for this layout is to separate architecture-dependent files and non-architecture-dependent files. I can't say that the added complexity justify this separation. nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/!
