Re: [NTG-context] Help --- Arithmetic Overflow: Weird error
Mojca, Attached. Meanwhile, I guess I should try to update my Context and see if that makes a difference. I found that I needed to update my installer and now I am realizing that I am a bit behind the times. In trying Context Updater in the update i-installer, I get this message: "You are now installing in the location for de deprecated gwTeX 2003-2005 i-Package in part based on teTeX. This is probably not what you want. I suggest you make sure you have the gwTeX i-Package based on TeX Live installed. Then the best thing is to reset this i-Package to its default package properties. It will then pick up the new default location. Looks like it wants me to install the latest tex. Any advice? On Jan 3, 2007, at 6:01 PM, Mojca Miklavec wrote:

Mojca,

You've sent one line too few from your log: [MP to PDF] (./junk-mpgraph.1) color : currentcolor (def) is not defined [MP junk-mpgraph.2] ! Arithmetic overflow. This implies too old ConTeXt anyway ("ctxtools --contextversion"), I'm not sure about the metapost (I don't know how old metapost may be for the latest ConTeXt to work).

Not so much behind the time ... TeXLive hasn't been officially released yet.
In trying Context Updater in the update i-installer, I get this message:

Always update ConTeXt before reporting problems ;) Now, as a punisment, you're invited to test TeXLive images ;) ---- If you have a broad internet connection and some time available, "just" uninstall context, uninstall tex, install texlive and then install context again. "ctxtools --update" might also work, but the first way is suggested anyway. Mojca

I would advice that somebody should pick up the gauntlet and write a user-friendly interface to the i-Installer. -- Rolf Lindgren roffe@extern.uio.no
