Dear Hans, Otared, Thank you for your concern. The version of luametatex is 20191206. I followed what Otared said, but texmf-cache is not created after mtxrun. "context —make" is running, but no format. I checked folders after the installation. Folders, texmf-cache, texmf-fonts, texmf-local, texmf-modules, texmf-project are empty. texmf folder contains {fonts,metapost, tex,web2c} texmf-context folder contains {colors,context,doc} However, I couldn’t find base files, script files, etc. Is it normal? Is it related with Catalina? Have a nice weekend.

I have no problem on Catalina, however wiping-out the cache and rebuilding the format often gives me errors finding the lua scripts (so I have taken the habit of creating and maintaining symbolic links in the texmf-osx-64/bin directory). Alan

I replied in another thread. Catalina has way stricter security requirements and it's getting increasingly more difficult to do workarounds. (Using rsync might help to circumvent some of the troubles. For now, at least.) I'm somewhat reluctant to install Catalina on my machine until I need to (maybe in a VM). Mojca

Hello Otared, "... get overwritten and are modified for some unknown reasons: in particular the two lua files become complete garbage…" I found the same today under Gentoo Linux, and the same for the lua files under (can't check which as I've deleted the install): ~/lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin Best, Richard -- Richard Mahoney | Indica et Buddhica Littledene Bay Road Oxford NZ T: +6433121699 M: +64210640216 r.mahoney@indica-et-buddhica.org https://indica-et-buddhica.org/ -----Original Message----- From: Otared Kavian Reply-To: mailing list for ConTeXt users To: mailing list for ConTeXt users Subject: Re: [NTG-context] problem with a new installation of LMTX Date: Sun, 8 Dec 2019 08:08:11 +0100 Mailer: Apple Mail (2.3445.104.11) Hi Dalyoung, I installed MacOS 10.15 Catalina on a partition of my Mac and tried to install LuaMetaTeX there. I did not succeed … Indeed I had to disable completely the Gatekeeper from the Terminal by issuing the command sudo spctl --master-disable (which, one can re-enable again by saying sudo spctl --master-enable). But the problem is that after issuing the command sh install.sh the three files mtx-install.lua, mtxrun.lua, mtxrun, which are in /context-osx-64/bin/ get overwritten and are modified for some unknown reasons: in particular the two lua files become complete garbage… while in MacOS 10.14 these files are unchanged. So in fact the installation process cannot continue in MacOS 10.15, and even though the directories in /context-osx-64/tex/ are created, the binaries and the formats are not there. I guess other people on the list may have installed LuaMetaTeX under MacOS 10.15 and they can help us understand what is going on. Later in the day I'll try to understand how to bypass the security assessments (and the overwrite of the above three files) of MacOS 10.15, and let you know if I find a solution. Sorry for not being helpful at this point… Best regards: Otared K.

Hi Otared,

Hi Dalyoung,

May be you could do the following steps (I recently had some issues too with installing the new beta, and these are what I did):

Can you add this to the wiki someplace?

• In Terminal type:

which luametatex

in order to see whether

/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/luametatex

is present or not.

• If not the download has not been complete.

• If yes, in Terminal type:

luametatex --version

and see whether it says among other things:

Functionality : level 20191206

If not, there might be an issue with the files you have downloaded.

• If yes, in the folder

context-osx-64/tex

remove the folder texmf-cache

and then in the Terminal run:

mtxrun --generate

In principle the folder texmf-cache is present again.

• In the Terminal window type:

context --make --all

If everything goes nicely, you should be able to see LuaMetaTeX functionning.

Best regards: OK

I read some reports about the problems of a new installation of LMTX. Today, I did fresh install and also have a problem in compilation.

I did the following:

0. Open the terminal 1. Remove all files in the folder “ConTeXtLMTX” 2. Download install files from PRAGMA ADE. 3. run “install.sh”(at first, it won’t run because of the MacOS Catalina. I have to allow the running in the preference.) 4. it installs the folder “tex” and some files but context-cache is empty. And, it couldn’t compile test.tex

I copied the log during the installation for checking.

Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung […]
