what mtxrun do you run ... you need to copy the file mtxrun.lua in the scripth path to mtxrun in the bin path ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 copied the complete shell session to the previous mail: I.e. I get first-setup via rsync from the garden and run it; it fetches the bin dir and runs mtxrun from there, and that already fails. This error occurrs at work on a Mac G5 (PPC) running OSX 10.4; ConTeXt is installed in /usr/local/ConTeXt. At home, on a Mac mini (Intel) running OSX 10.5, it works; here ConTeXt is installed in ~/Library/texmf. Both installations use the "garden way". On monday I'll check whether there's another mtxrun.lua somewhere on the system - but the path configuration is correct. Greetlings from Lake Constance!

Thanks for the other hint about PPC. Can you please retry the installation? I had problems cross-compiling luatex, so it remained at an old version for quite some time. After the issue had been fixed, I still had a tiny bug in my scripts which prevented the new binaries to be uploaded. If others (FreeBSD) have problems - many people have problems with commiting files to the SVN repository. It seems to be some SVN version incompatibility issue, but I do not dare touching svn on the server. Mojca

I had the same problem. I then gave the command as: sudo ./first-setup.sh That succeeded, and the resulting ConTeXt installation seems to run correctly - but I'm not smart enough to know why this worked or why it should be necessary. David
