OK, since you're having so much trouble, I'll try to explain a few things: 1. Your trouble with Ubuntu: you copied the command "as is" from the document INSTALL in tetex: gzip -dc tetex-texmf.tar.gz \| (umask 0; cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist; tar xvf -) In the tetex document, the "\" was just there because the line was continued, it wasn't meant to be retyped by you in the middle of the line. Rewrite the command without it, and you'll be fine. Please don't put anything along the lines you tried into the wiki, Ubuntu is working fine here, that was just a user error. 2. .bash_profile is read by login shells only, so if you set your $PATH there, you have to either log out and then back in or run the command source .bash_profile 3. I have a dim memory that the way auctex is set up on Ubuntu, it calls sh and doesn't take your current path into account. This is easy to fix: in emacs, type M-x customize-variable RET TeX-command-list In the buffer that opens, scroll down till you see the variable for ConTeXt, which is set to texexec --pdf --nonstop --texutil %t instead of texexec, give the full path: /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc- linux-gnu/tetex and you should be fine. Most of what you're experiencing are not real ConTeXt problems, but general shell/path/auctex problems. If they are to appear in the Wiki (I'm not sure they should), this should be in a section of its own. They're definitely not special or restricted to Ubuntu.

Hi everybody,

I still have pbs for this (begin to be) hard to achieve task (compared of unziping mswincontext.zip on a :\C drive...)

1) I can't succed in adding executables to the path, with my various tryies, here is my .bash_profile : if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then source ~/.bashrc fi

export PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/ i686-pc-linux-gnu:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:/usr/local/ bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/ games

2) emacs+ auctex nor scite (installed before : maybe a reinstall ?) are not context aware, so I can only texexec via the terminal 2) is texmfstart working on linux ?

PS : when everything will be fine, (tetex3 install, same .pdf results between mswincontext and tetex3, scite linux integration (hard to change editor now), i'll add this to ubuntu wiki section

TIA, olivier
