Newbie: floats with Context 2009 (Ubuntu). How do I use this workaround?
Hello, I am completely new to Context. I am using 2009 Context, Tex packages from Ubuntu ppa packages.
From the mailing list I got this workaround in the form of this attachment.tex file, but I can't figure in which file I have to put the macros. http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/049964.html
* Marius (2010-06-04 11:30): *>>* Hello, I can't get it to work too. When we could expect it to be *>>* fixed? Or maybe somebody knows a work around to place two floats side *>>* by side?

Copying those macros verbatim into the test file works, so it is probably just an oversight that they do not appear elsewhere in mkiv. (see attachment) Best wishes, Taco
I don't know what is your problem, but minimals is the better way to use context under linux 32 bit Open a shell as a root and then #> mkdir -p /opt/context/minimals-2010-07-03 #> cd /opt/context/minimals-2010-07-03 #> rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh . #> bash first-setup.sh ## wait a bit... #> cd tex #> . setuptex It should be work ok now -- luigi
Thanks for your answer.
I tried what you suggest a while back but the installation process seemed
stalled as there was no activity for a couple of hours. I wondered if
everything was hung or whether I was being impatient, but I aborted it. Any
guess on how long it would take to install (I have a dsl connection)?
Also, I don't understand this command:
rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
Does it mean I don't have to uninstall by Ubuntu packages? Is the period at
the end necessary?
Thank you in advance for clarifying those points if you can, and then I'll
proceed!

The installation is about 200 MB, but it should not be staled; the first few files that are downloaded are around 5MB. (However it was broken for the last few days.)
Also, I don't understand this command: rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh . Does it mean I don't have to uninstall by Ubuntu packages?
You don't need to uninstall anything. Just put the minimals at any location you want.
Is the period at the end necessary?
You don't need a dot, but you need any valid location and dot means "download here". Mojca
My last question if I may:
I am using Kile as an editor, and warming up to using Emacs. How is this
minimals installation accessed by either of those two programs?
Thank you again in advance.

Ok, I installed the minimals, it went fast.
But I get this:
pascale-desktop ~ # context --version
MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'
pascale-desktop ~ # tex --version
TeX 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)
kpathsea version 5.0.0

...(etc)
pascale-desktop ~ #
Obviously, I do not know where I am in my computer!
Do you think you can help?

In case that you have already set up the new installation (either by running ". /path/to/setuptex" or by adding /path/to/tex/texmf-linuxorwhatever/bin), you need to run luatools --generate first. This might be kind-of-bug that has not been solved properly yet. (And it is a low-priority since there's an easy workaround. Also, it seems to happen only once after installation. We plan to rewrite some parts, and fixing this will be part of that rewrite.) Mojca

I don't know those two programs in detail. But as a general rule, you need to add /path/to/tex/texmf-linuxorwhateverelse/bin to PATH. If you run Kile or Emacs from terminal, all you need to do is to use ". /path/to/setupetex" or adjust path before you run Kile or Emacs. You can also put that into .bashrc. I have no idea how to handle PATH if you run Kile from "Start Menu", but PATH adjustments need to be somewhere under settings. Under Kile you can just as well adjust PATH in command-line. For Emacs: you don't need any adjustment unless you also run ConTeXt documents from within Emacs. I use Vim in one terminal and compile documents in the other. Mojca
Hello,
Sorry I did not get back to you earlier, it got hectic starting Monday
morning.
I am sorry but I do not understand what exactly I am supposed to do.
I installed following those instructions from Luigi, on a previous message:
Open a shell as a root and then
#> mkdir -p /opt/context/minimals-2010-07-
03
#> cd /opt/context/minimals-2010-07-03
#> rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
#> bash first-setup.sh ## wait a bit...
#> cd tex
#> . setuptex
When I run luatools --generate, I get this :
LuaTools | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/usr/bin'
LuaTools | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/usr'
LuaTools | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '/'

LuaTools | fileio: locating list of '/home/pascale/texmf'
LuaTools | fileio: tex locator '/home/pascale/texmf' not found
LuaTools | fileio: locating list of '/etc/texmf'
(etc...)
The context executable is located in:
/opt/context/minimals-2010-07-03/tex/texmf-linux/bin
What am I supposed to put into my .profile file?
export PATH = /opt/context/minimals-2010-07-03/tex/texmf-linux/bin (??)
Is it what you meant by
"I don't know those two programs in detail. But as a general rule, you
need to add
/path/to/tex/texmf-
linuxorwhateverelse/bin
to PATH." ?
Is it then that I have to run luatools --generate?
I am sorry but I am not famiiar with this type of installation, and I am
having a hard time figuring out the difference between the use of
"/path/to/" as in /opt/context/minimals-2010-07-03/tex/texmf-linux/bin and
"/path/to" as in ". /path/to/setupetex"...
I hope you don't mind my questions and that I can finish this installation.
Thank you again very much in advance.

Which shell are you using? You can know that by looking at the output of echo $SHELL In some shells you need to run source setuptex rather than . setuptex What happens if you run "source setuptex"? Aditya
Hello,
Thank you for answering.
I run bash.
Here are the results of the command ("no file or folder of this type") :
pascale@pascale-desktop ~ $ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
pascale@pascale-desktop ~ $ source setuptex
bash: setuptex: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
pascale@pascale-desktop ~ $ .setuptex
.setuptex: command not found
Here it is!

Sorry, my previous answer to your question marked as "stupidous message".
Here is the correct answer:
pascale@pascale-desktop /opt/context/minimals-2010-07-03/tex $ source
setuptex
Setting "/opt/context/minimals-2010-07-03/tex" as ConTeXt root.
Thank you for your patience,
