But for

texmfstart.exe texexec

I keep getting

ruby: no such file to load -- ubygems (LoadError)

texmfstart --locate texexec.rb

gives me

/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb

Any ideas on what's wrong?

I would say it's a broken ruby installation, or some other file is broken, but I cannot find anything in ConTeXt, maybe in standalone ConTeXt environment ...

I tried moving all setuptex.bat variables to the global XP environment variables. Then I could make a pdftex format without cscite.bat. But I could not run any pdftex files because texexec keeps looking for the format in -local/web2c/pdftex instead of -mswin\web2c\pdftex. I've removed those global variables and again trying to get setuptex/cscite.bat/pdftex working.

Can you try to find a string "ubygems" in some .rb file? It should be "rubygems" at most, but I have no idea where this is comming from.

That is weird indeed. Thnx and Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
