Hello, I've just been trying to install context on Ubuntu 8.10. Today I went to http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/ and followed the instructions:

On unix (linux, mac, freebsd, sun, ...) run:

mkdir context && cd context rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first- setup.sh . ./first-setup.sh

The first-setup script initially failed because I did not have ruby installed. So I installed ruby and then ran it again.

It cranked away for awhile, then ended up with the error: ! I can't find file `core-swd'. <to be read again> \relax l.228 \loadmkiifile{core-swd}

The preceding output was:

Let me add a little more preceding output: (/home/.../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/core-sec.mkii loading : Context Core Macros / Sectioning ...

...

However, when I do a search, I see that there is a file core- swd.mkii. Its path is context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base (I kid you not -- tex and context each show up three times in the path!)

Can anybody suggest how to fix the problem?

Just for kicks, I tried the following. The prompt said Please type another input file name: so I entered "core-swd.mkii" (i.e. I added the .mkii suffix). This seemed to satisfy the processor ... until the same error happened again a little while later (with the same preceding output). This happened about 4 times total.

Was that a legitimate solution? Or should it really be looking for a core-swd.tex file?

Can your try this: mtxrun --selfupdate luatools --selfupdate context --generate context --make en Wolfgang

I guess I should first delete the core-swd.tex that I got from cache? (Did that...)

mtxrun gives "command not found"... So I added context/bin to the PATH.

Then I ran mtxrun again and got /usr/bin/env: texlua: No such file or directory.

Later I found http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#First_Installation which said to add something like "source [dir...]/context/tex/setuptex [dir...]/context/tex" to the system startup script.

(It would be helpful to add a prominent link to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#First_Installation from the instructions at http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/, labeled "Please see more complete instructions here". There is currently a link between those two pages, but it is labeled "These might eventually become a new minimal ConTeXt distribution" which doesn't suggest that you need to visit the link to supplement the installation instructions already given.)

After adding the above source line, the four commands you asked me to try run without obvious errors.

No base/core-swd.tex file appears.

Is there something specific I should look for to tell whether the above commands solved my problem? Should I run first-setup.sh again?

Thanks, Lars

I write how I setup my "minimals-beta" on a linux box ubuntu 8.04 1) mkdir -p /opt/luatex/minimals-beta 2) cd /opt/luatex/minimals-beta 2a) Now put here first-setup.sh (see contextgarden.net/minimals) 3) ./first-setup.sh 4) cd tex **IMPORTANT** 5) . setuptex ============================= 6) context --generate 7) context --make 8)Every time I start a mkiv session as first step I do cd /opt/luatex/minimals-beta/tex . setuptext to ensure correct initilization of env. variables. 9a)context --generate 9b)context --make to unsure a clean session. 10) always use context to make pdf; ie compile yours files with context basic-test.tex If you open first-setup.sh and change this line near the end mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force --engine=all --context=beta --tree=$PWD/tex $@ in mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force --engine=all --tree=$PWD/tex $@ and then 1) mkdir -p /opt/luatex/minimals 2)... and so on you can then end with a "minimals" installation (actually minimalsBIRTHDAY) Actually I have minimals-beta, minimals and tl2008 completly unrelated so each installations has is own fonts etc etc. It's ok, because minimals and minimals-beta are not so huge and I want to be sure that minimals-beta and minimals work -- luigi

I ran first-setup.sh again, because that was where I first encountered the error "I can't find file `core-swd'." It gave the same error again, even after running the four commands you suggested, Wolfgang.

I don't know the setup well enough to know whether this means that the problem was not solved, or whether it means that the problem was solved by the four commands but was unsolved by first-setup.sh.

Did you try my steps ? -- luigi

Just to clarify, since I wasn't explicit: there is no core-swd.tex file in the context/base folder.

Googling "core-swd context" gives results that indicate there used to be a core-swd.tex file there. I could use the google cached copy, although I suppose there was some reason why it was removed?

After using the google cached copy, and rerunning the first-setup script, the script ends without obvious errors: TeXExec | runtime: 14.383196 make | done state | saved

Can anyone confirm that using the cached core-swd.tex indeed solved the problem, rather than merely masking it? Maybe core-swd.tex was rightfully removed, and the correct fix would be to remove the reference to it in the other file?

core-swd.tex is removed in the last beta and the old file was saved under the name core-swd.mkii Generate the formats with "texexec --make --all" and it should work. Wolfgang

But this is generating mkiv format and not mkii format.

It's Hans fault, he loads core-swd in context.mkii with the command \loadmkiifile but the command expects .tex as file extension, you could either rename core-swd.mkii to core-swd.tex or you change the line \loadmkiifile{core-swd} to \loadmarkfile{core-swd} or \loadmkiifile{core-swd.mkii}.

One error cancels the other: - first error: there is no more core-swd.tex but it's needed by the \loadmkiifile command - second error: the installer for the minimals only adds new files but never removes obsolete ones (no --del switch for rsync).

So you're lucky, because there is still an old core-swd.tex in your tree that will never be removed automatically.

yes, I suppose that. There are some differences between *zip and minimals, but actually I prefear minimals . -- luigi
