Hi all, especially Mojca, I guess, I have a somewhat bizarre problem with the setuptex script under the latest Fedora and zsh (version 5.02). Here's what happens: source ~/context/tex/setuptex "/mnt/shared/context/tex" is not a valid TEXROOT path. (There is no file "/mnt/shared/context/tex/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex") provide a proper tex root (like '. setuptex /something/tex') The script works under bash; the error under Fedora is the same on two different computers, but I don't know if any other linux distribution has the same version of zsh. Can anyone else test and see if they have similar problems with zsh? All best Thomas

I would gladly help, but I don't know how zhs works and I didn't find any hints during a quick search. My suggestion would be to put export PATH=$HOME/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH or something similar into the file that you are sourcing. Mojca

Hi Mojca, I'm happy to say that a recent update in Fedora solved the problem; setuptex now works again. Bizarre, I still have no idea where the problem came from... All best Thomas

Hi Mojca,

A tiny, random hunch: zsh treats its built-in "source" command differently from its "." command, and therefore sometimes one or the other works better. It's worth trying ". ~/context/tex/setuptex" when using zsh. However, I don't see really how it would have helped in this situation, and on my machine either one works fine. -- David R
