Re: [NTG-context] Minimals (solved)

Mojca has sorted out my problems with minimal installations. Since our correspondence was private, I would like to share the conclusions: I had old and new installations and "source /path/oldtex/tex/setuptex /path/oldtex/tex" in the bash startup file (.profile or .bashrc). When I switched to the new installation, I changed TEXROOT (by source /path/newtex ...). This seems to generate a mixture of TEX... variables, including some pointing to the "oldtex" installation. Everything works fine if TEXROOT is set in a virgin shell that hasn't seen a "source ..." command yet. According to Mojca, it's a bit more complicated. I copy her answer to my question, whether the above is correct: Not completely. Copy and rename the old setuptex to the new distribution or the new setuptex to the old distribution (you need to rename it in order to prevent rewriting the file next time when you use it) or use something like source /Applications/newtex/tex/setuptex ~/context/tex and it should work.

hmm , never see this. I believe that if you make a fresh minimals install and you have the same error, it's a minimals problem.

That's what I thought (I freshly installed twice). But I'll try again on Friday ... Thanks everybody.

can you search your disk (path) for other occurences of mtxrun and luatools?
