do is impossible to install mark iv in gnu/linux/amd64?
Hi all... Mark IV is a greatest technology but very very difficult to install :(. The trouble is not context or metafun else luatex. There is not way humanly possible to install it in gnu/linux/x86_64! Always I have some error :(... I tried with packages (hardy heron, currently) but I have/get oldest files/executables. I tested with minimals but luatex fail, always. I downloaded 'justtex' and 'linuxtex' from 'pragma', I executed 'setup', 'ctxtools --update', 'texhash', 'luatools --generate', 'luatools --ini --compile --verbose cont-en' and there is where is the problem. I show the log.: -------------------- log file ------------------------------ LuaTools | version 1.1.1 - 2006+ - PRAGMA ADE / CONTEXT LuaTools | loading configuration for /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf-local/web2c from /tmp/luatex-cache/context/633f28473ae673ab8010bad861caac2b/trees/7c0207599bd198dfb79dd3ceb6750413 LuaTools | loading configuration for /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf/web2c from /tmp/luatex-cache/context/633f28473ae673ab8010bad861caac2b/trees/3111d02d6c5a3b3dbcd844d87f23b1ba LuaTools | locating list of /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf-linux-64 LuaTools | locating list of /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf-project LuaTools | locating list of /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf-fonts LuaTools | locating list of /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf-local LuaTools | locating list of /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf-extra LuaTools | locating list of /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf LuaTools | loading files for /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf-linux-64 from /tmp/luatex-cache/context/633f28473ae673ab8010bad861caac2b/trees/d672b2f0b05dd406b9b772d4e483a2a0 LuaTools | loading files for /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf-fonts from /tmp/luatex-cache/context/633f28473ae673ab8010bad861caac2b/trees/6c439d293d07215cb6e292871b11baa4 LuaTools | loading files for /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf-local from /tmp/luatex-cache/context/633f28473ae673ab8010bad861caac2b/trees/16fdea445e079e221d9d4a786b39e208 LuaTools | loading files for /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf-extra from /tmp/luatex-cache/context/633f28473ae673ab8010bad861caac2b/trees/2ea1098d190949807a89ea08ce1363d0 LuaTools | loading files for /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf from /tmp/luatex-cache/context/633f28473ae673ab8010bad861caac2b/trees/39fb678b4d3be7340cdddf3157b9b88b LuaTools | creating initialization file cont-en LuaTools | using library path : /home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base LuaTools | using lua libraries: l-string.lua l-lpeg.lua l-table.lua l-boolean.lua l-number.lua l-set.lua l-unicode.lua l-md5.lua l-os.lua l-io.lua l-file.lua l-url.lua l-dir.lua l-utils.lua l-tex.lua luat-env.lua luat-lib.lua luat-inp.lua luat-tmp.lua luat-zip.lua luat-tex.lua LuaTools | using compiled initialization file cont-en.luc LuaTools | using lua initialization file cont-en.luc LuaTools | running command: luatex --ini --lua="cont-en.luc" "/home/raven/sources/tex/context/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex" \\dump Error in lua file loading: cont-en.luc: bad header in precompiled chunk LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.080 seconds -------------------- end log file ------------------------- As it is logic, I have all variables correctly added ($TEXROOT, $TEXMF, $TEXMFCACHE, etc, etc, etc), and ruby install it.

Hello, These 2 methods work without any problem on my x86_64 GNU/Linux system: - http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals - http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/ (It's openSUSE-factory on amd-64.) Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
Hi... The installation of 'minimals' ( http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals) generates the following error.: ------------------------------ log file ------------------------------ /usr/bin/rsync /usr/bin/ruby receiving file list ... done bin/ bin/mtx-update-old.lua bin/mtx-update.lua bin/mtxrun bin/texlua sent 187 bytes received 4764416 bytes 635280.40 bytes/sec total size is 4763505 speedup is 1.00 MtxRun | version 1.0.2 - 2007+ - PRAGMA ADE / CONTEXT MtxRun | skipping configuration for /texmf-local/web2c from /tmp/luatex-cache/context/08b938442c7b7e1f996277c98fdaf1cc/trees/1ea0d653b7d442eb525f5b14e44e43d4 MtxRun | skipping configuration for /texmf/web2c from /tmp/luatex-cache/context/08b938442c7b7e1f996277c98fdaf1cc/trees/81dad2a0cb293b981fa86dd0b7cae550 MtxRun | using script: ./bin/mtx-update.luareport >> state: loaded report >> update: start Error in lua file loading: ./bin/mtx-update.lua:181: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil) ------------------------------ end log file ------------------------ And, again, it is not installable on gnu/linux/x86_64... In other hand, the method used from http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/ seem very good, but I cannot use it because I use a flavor such as debian (ubuntu) and I do not know how to translate the instructions from rpm (texlive.spec script) to deb... Someday I will be able to install luatex and could use its enormous capacity for fonts :). Meanwhile, I will continue using xe(la)tex :(... Thanks for the help and greetings from Auria, Galicia, Spain

Try this a) open in vi/vim first-setup-sh b) apply these changes :62s/$platform/linux-64 :66s/force/force\ --platform=linux-64 c) save d) rerun first-setup.sh -- Diego Depaoli
Hi... Many thanks for the help, I thought I could never use luatex. Again, thank you very much :)...
