Has anyone had success running ConTeXt as packaged with Ubuntu? I can't get texexec --lua to find the ConTeXt format files, nor can I figure out how to generate the format files for luatex. XeTeX is similarly flaky. I'm running Ubuntu Hardy alpha in hopes of getting more up-to-date packages; is this a vain hope? --Joel

Where to set it? Just as a UNIX environment variable
Yes.
(presumably in my .profile or similar)
First try it on from your shell before hardcoding it in your profile; it would be best not to set it at all, but for the moment we have no other choice.
as a kpse variable (which I don't know how to set)?
In texmf.cnf -- and actually, all kpathsea variables can be overridden in the environment, but this is of no relevance then, because Mark IV doesn't use kpathsea at all. Arthur

You probably should set TEXMFCACHE as well.
chesky@maxwell:~$ mkdir .texmf-cache chesky@maxwell:~$ export TEXMFCACHE=~/.texmf-cache chesky@maxwell:~$ kpsewhich --expand-var '$TEXMFCACHE' /home/chesky/.texmf-cache Then I re-ran (without sudo) "luatools --generate", "texexec --make --luatex", and "texexec --luatex hello.tex", and got the same results. That wasn't it. --Joel

Which version of context and luatex does hardy ship with? In Gusty I had to set TEXMFCNF=/usr/share/texmf/web2c LUAINPUTS=$MYTEXMF/tex/context/base/:$MYTEXMF/scripts/context/lua where $MTEXMF is the directory where I instal the latest context. Both mkii and mkiv work fine with this setup. I have not tried xetex. Aditya
