The latest beta (Minimals) fails to compile and complains: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (Web2C 7.5.7) \write18 enabled. (/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-context/web2c/natural.tcx) I can't find the format file `cont-en.fmt'! and context --version gets MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Alan

I'm afraid the problem lies here: #!/bin/sh mtxrun --usekpse --execute texexec "$@" Most probably one can get over it by changing mtxrun to texmfstart.rb again, though this will be overwritten next time when you'll try to update. (Hans was just afraid to be too bored during long Polish talks, so he had to make sure to have a few challenges left to solve during the conference :) Mojca
Thanks, Mocja. I will play around with it. Alan On Apr 30, 2009, at 15;50,10 , Mojca Miklavec wrote:

We now tried to fix texmf.cnf, so maybe that helps. (It works here, but my system might be set up in some weird way at the moment.)

I tried to get rid of most definitons in setuptex (but maybe you were not using it before anyway). Weird. The formats now fly to /web2c. I had impression that it worked OK yesterday, I don't understand it. The reason that it fails lies here: TEXMFOS = $SELFAUTODIR TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMFOS/web2c It seems that $SELFAUTODIR doesn't return anything since replacing it with something sensible starts working. Alan - if you just need to be able to typeset the document, change TEXMFOS in texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf (or copy that file to texmf-local/web2c if you want to keep the file) to the folder where you want the formats to be (/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel for example). I'll try to figure out what's going on in the meantime. Mojca

On the other hand, kpsewhich --expand-var='$TEXFORMATS' .:/context/tex/texmf-osx-intel/web2c So maybe some ConTeXt script fails to interpret SELFAUTODIR. Mojca
Salut, The minimals I installed at Aoril 23. are working. (The first "texexec <something>" were very slow; than I forgot it ... ;-) Happy May rb
Thanks again, Mocja. I am currently in between projects (next starts on Monday), so have some time to “play around” this weekend. All best, Alan On May 1, 2009, at 03;31,36 , Mojca Miklavec wrote:

I commited some temporary patches to setuptex that should work in theory, but I don't give my word for it. Mojca
