Hi, I just tried out the ConTeXt standalone and found out it did not work with my gnuplot files. I have been using texlive 2011, which works fine. With the "context" command from standalone, the following error occurs, ----- Error begins ----- ! Undefined control sequence. system > tex > error on line 4 in file /Users/jin/pkgs/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv: Undefined control sequence ... 1 %D \module 2 %D [ file=cont-yes, 3 %D version=2012.06.01, 4 >> %D title=\CONTEXT\ Miscellaneous Macros, 5 %D subtitle=Startup Stub, 6 %D author=Hans Hagen, 7 %D date=\currentdate, 8 %D copyright={PRAGMA ADE \& \CONTEXT\ Development Team}] 9 %C 10 %C This module is part of the \CONTEXT\ macro||package and is 11 %C therefore copyrighted by \PRAGMA.

I thought I should pass along this issue to experts on the list. Thanks, Xiao-Yong

If you do your calculations modulo 356 days, yes ;) I need to wait for a huge macports update to finish (needs recompilation of many big packages, including octave etc.) before I will be able to use gnuplot again, but there is a fair chance that either there is no gnuplot module installed in your standalone ConTeXt installation (an extra --modules=gnuplot switch needed if I'm not mistaken) or that something broke with yesterday's massive changes (that 356 days joke wasn't meant seriously). Please check if you have /Users/jin/pkgs/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/gnuplot/t-gnuplot.tex (kpsewhich t-gnuplot.tex) on your system. I'll take a look as soon as I have a working gnuplot binary back. Mojca

Please ignore my previous remarks and please try to remove \obeyMPlines from t-gnuplot.tex instead to see if that solves the problem. Mojca

That is exactly the culprit. Thank you all. I understand how to read the error output, now. And reminded myself that this is the year 2012. Xiaoyong

I didn't read careful enough. I thought that \startGNUPLOTpage was undefined. Anyway, I updated the module in distribution & in TL (the latter will be updated in a few hours). Thanks again to both, Mojca

there is no \obeyMPlines any longer so you probably mix up an new context and an old gnuplot module Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, in some other part of the module I have %\obeyMPlines % <- no longer a problem and it seems that I forgot to remove that for full page plots. Thank you both for reporting the problem and spotting the solution right away. I will test later and update the module. Mojca
