All, I am using Mactex Texlive 2008 on a Macbook pro. I did this: sudo ctxtools --updatecontext After reading http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV, I tried: sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/ current/ /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/ sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/luatex/ osx-universal/bin/luatex /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/ Then I try: david-arnolds-macbook-pro:~ darnold$ sudo luatools --generate And I get: sudo: luatools: command not found Then I tried: david-arnolds-macbook-pro:~ darnold$ luatools --generate The result was: -bash: /usr/texbin/luatools: Permission denied Trying the context command yields the same result: david-arnolds-macbook-pro:~ darnold$ context --make Result: -bash: /usr/texbin/context: Permission denied So, there is some sort of permissions problem. We looked at this: david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ cd /usr/texbin david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ ls -l lua* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 May 13 17:46 lualatex -> luatex -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8009384 Aug 13 2008 luatex lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 49 May 13 17:46 luatools -> ../../ texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua And tried: david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ ls -l ../../texmf-dist/ scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 222585 Aug 14 01:50 ../../texmf-dist/scripts/ context/lua/luatools.lua And see that this file is not executable, so we try: david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ sudo chmod +x ../../texmf- dist/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua Now the following works. david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ luatools --generate But this piecemeal approach to making things executable might go on and on. Can someone give a more universal cure? Is there an entire directory of scripts that need to be executable? Thanks. David

You can try to install context minimals. They will not interfere with your mactex installation. For installation instructions see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals and to configure mac specific editors http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/Mac_Installation Aditya
Aditya, Thanks. You are always so helpful. But I would really prefer to fix this and correct installation directions on pages like: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV I think I have maybe an owner and permissions problem as a result of these rsync commands: david-arnolds-macbook-pro:context darnold$ ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x 33 33 33 1122 Aug 19 08:13 lua drwxr-xr-x 15 33 33 510 Aug 19 08:12 perl drwxr-xr-x 35 33 33 1190 Aug 19 08:13 ruby drwxr-xr-x 5 33 33 170 Aug 19 08:12 stubs 15? 33? 5? david-arnolds-macbook-pro:context darnold$ cd lua david-arnolds-macbook-pro:lua darnold$ ls -l total 1784 -rwxr-xr-x 1 33 33 222585 Aug 14 01:50 luatools.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 140 Apr 18 2008 luatools.rme -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 10520 Jun 2 09:31 mtx-babel.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 3124 Apr 3 04:27 mtx-cache.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 11524 May 13 04:47 mtx-chars.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 5402 Apr 3 04:39 mtx-check.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 55776 Jul 16 14:16 mtx-context.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 4681 Jun 14 04:33 mtx-convert.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 6010 Aug 7 08:13 mtx-fonts.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 3790 Jul 12 08:11 mtx-grep.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 11746 Apr 11 14:47 mtx-interface.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 2241 Apr 19 23:46 mtx-metatex.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 4535 Apr 3 04:43 mtx-mptopdf.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 2825 May 16 10:19 mtx-package.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 14637 Apr 11 14:48 mtx-patterns.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 6168 Apr 3 04:42 mtx-profile.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 24868 Aug 6 13:20 mtx-server-ctx- fonttest.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 22332 May 6 05:03 mtx-server-ctx-help.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 1874 May 7 10:12 mtx-server-ctx- startup.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 12872 May 28 07:35 mtx-server.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 2913 Jun 24 10:08 mtx-texworks.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 7235 May 2 12:38 mtx-timing.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 1751 Jul 2 07:21 mtx-tools.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 3067 Apr 3 04:26 mtx-unzip.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 20868 Jun 14 12:31 mtx-update.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 11510 Apr 3 04:41 mtx-watch.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 335022 Aug 14 01:50 mtxrun.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 132 Apr 18 2008 mtxrun.rme -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 25310 Jan 17 2008 scite-ctx.lua drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Jun 1 11:33 third -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 12563 Apr 15 00:39 x-ldx.lua And should all of the above scripts be executable?

Hans, No. I have Mactex texlive 2008 installed and I used the rsync directions on: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV The result is I no longer have a functioning context installation. I will try installing the minimals, but I'd really like to get my Mactex installation correct and the directions on the above page correct. D. On Sep 23, 2009, at 1:16 PM, Hans Hagen wrote:

you should install the minimals alongside (not combined) with mactex; the operate isolated and can be updated independently and used without interference (issue the setuptex script to switch to the minimals tree) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hans, My impression from reading installation directions for minimals is that when you open a shell, and if you have your .bash_profile configured, that setuptex will be sourced. That must set some sort of path while the current shell is active? Will that interfere with needing to suddenly latex a file? D. On Sep 23, 2009, at 2:04 PM, Hans Hagen wrote:

AFAIK not if you issue latex from a different shell where setuptex hasn't been sourced. As for your broken MacTeX installation, did you customize it in any way before you updated ConTeXt via rsync? If not then the easiest road back to a working MacTeX setup might be reinstalling the MacTeX package from scratch and then placing the Minimals alongside ... Best wishes, Oliver

yes, as latex is not in the minimals. however, normally you will then just use a separate shell if you're running from an editor, and using mkiv, you can just run the context script (use the full path to it) and it will operate in the tree that it sits in 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
