There is a small, but fatal bug in the script. You have to open the mtxrun script in a text editor and fix line 9016 so it says: today = os.date('*t') Best wishes, Taco

sorry missed that (I really should go back to bed ...)

no 'today' in my version here; i'l regenerated mtxrun and luatools and push a beta (which will then end up in the minimals) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Again and again.

What might have gone wrong?

OK, now it seems to work: I run luatools --generate and context --make as a user, not root. Why does it work? And one more question: texexec whatever.tex and context whatever.tex yield *different* pdf files: the MkIV one renders very poorly in xpdf (evince is ok). The properties dialog of evince says something about Type 1C (CID) fonts. Doues it mean I have to throw xpdf out? It would be a pity, since it is much more comfortable than evince...

texexec whatever.tex

try $> pdffonts whatever.pdf

So I'm doing: $ cat test-07.tex \starttext Hello world! \stoptext $ texexec test-07 (...)

Hi Wolfgang, I experience the same things as Marcin with ConTeXt Minimals from the Garden. Doing mtxrun --selfupdate or luatools --selfupdate does not solve the problem. My minimal file can be: \starttext This file has been typeset on \currentdate{} at \currenttime, with \doifmodeelse{mkiv} {mkiv, LuaTeX revision \luatexrevision, (LuaTeX date stamp \luatexdatestamp), using the command: \type{context basic-test.tex}} {mkii, using the command: \type{texexec basic-test.tex}}, ConTeXt version \contextversion. \stoptext The file typesets yielding a correct PDF but I get ...-10.4/context-minimal/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin/mtxrun:9016: attempt to index global 'today' (a function value) Here is the output when saying mtxrun --selfupdate: Setting "/Volumes/OK-10.4/context-minimal/tex" as TEXROOT.

Hi,

I did everything as wiki says, and after "context test-06" I get

/usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/i386-linux/mtxrun:9016: attempt to index global 'today' (a function value)

What might be wrong?

(I also chmod'ed all things in some .../script directories to executables.)

mtxrun --selfupdate luatools --selfupdate

If the problem still remains send us a example.

Wolfgang
