TeXLive 2008 + ConTeXt problems (on Gentoo Linux)
Hullo, it's been a while since I used ConTeXt (I simply didn't have to write any documents), but now that I upgraded to TeXLive 2008 I noticed that ConTeXt is giving me gripes. 'context test.tex' produces: MtxRun | error unable to identify cnf file MtxRun | error unable to identify cnf file MtxRun | no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known) MtxRun | unknown script: context 'texexec test.tex' actually produces a PDF. 'luatex test.tex' starts asking questions: This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.30.3-2009041418 (Web2C 7.5.7) (test.tex ! Undefined control sequence. l.1 \starttext ? ...and later on produces a completely messed up PDF 'luatools --generate' produces: LuaTools | error unable to identify cnf file LuaTools | error unable to identify cnf file LuaTools | no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known) LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.046 seconds I'm sure there's a step I missed in the upgrade, but I have no idea what. I've already tried a few things from the Wiki, which I think resulted in 'texexec' actually working, but the rest is still foo. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

just use the version the context garden as it is more uptodate (and also provides the latest binaries) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

I have nothing against TeXLive and I don't really want to mess with the bleeding edge. I just want it to work ;) Cheers, Matija -- gsm: +386 41 849 552 e-mail: matija.suklje@rutka.net www: http://matija.suklje.name aim: hookofsilver icq: 110183360 jabber/g-talk: matija.suklje@gabbler.org msn: matija.suklje@rutka.net yahoo: matija_suklje GPG/PGP fingerprint: FB64 FFAF B8DA 5AB5 B18A 98B8 2B68 0B51 0549 D278

it's just that tex live 2009 will have an update feature while 2008 hasn't (you probably have to do a fresh tl 2008 install then) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Matija, You need to set TEXMFCNF, TEXMFCACHE, and OSFONTDIR in your system environment, for example in /etc/env.d/98texlive. Best wishes, Wei-Wei Matija Šuklje 写道:

Thanks. :) E.g. what are appropriate values for these variables? I'll try to change them to my system's right paths, but I'd be grateful for some pointers where to start searching.

Hi, - TEXMFCNF value should be /etc/texmf/web2c. - TEXMFCACHE value is the directory chosen by yourself. - OSFONTDIR value should be the paths of your system fonts. Best wishes, Wei-Wei Matija Šuklje 写道:
