Re: [NTG-context] error when installing ConTeXt Standalone
Maybe you need to specify the installation directory or issue tex/setuptex from inside the install folder? font-opt.lua should be in <install folder>/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base John

Have you added the bin directory to your PATH?
No, I invoke "source tex/setuptex", which does the same job.

Dear list,
I have installed a system-wide ConTeXt Standalone in Fedora 19, following the instructions from the wiki.
But when I try to rebuild the font cache, I get the following error (with option verbose):
resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'font-otp.lua'cannot open : No such file or directory
I don?t know what I?m doing wrong, but I get the error as root also.
Could anyone tell me what it?s wrong here?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Well, that’s exactly what the following command does (at least, it works for me in a local installation, but not system-wide): $ source tex/setuptex Setting "/opt/ctxbeta/tex" as ConTeXt root. It worked with Fedora 16, but after installing Fedora 19 it doesn’t work. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
$ source tex/setuptex
Do you do that as root? You probably need to add it to something like
/etc/bashrc or the like... it sounds like you don't have permission/your
shell isn't getting the right path...

Both as root and as a regular user. Missing permissions for root? It would be the first time I see this. Of course there is something wrong and I don’t know what it is. Many thanks for your reply, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

[Sorry for the much delayed reply, Thomas. One of the mail servers seem to be rejecting messages from the SMTP server I used. So I had to open a new account to maili the ConTeXt list.] Installing zsh gives the same error, but I don’t have zsh installed (I removed after installing it to test this).

I play around with quite a few linux distributions and use them on a regular basis. The error only crops up on fedora. It comes and goes away, without any apparent reason. I use zsh as my login shell, so I thought it may have something to do with the fedora version of this shell, but now it looks like it's a problem within fedora. But to sum up what I think we found in the previous discussion: it's a problem with fedora, not with context; there's nothing that the context developers can do about it. Thomas
