Hi list, another problem I encountered while installing and testing context- minimals is that the context command is not willing in my case to autobuild the metafun graphics I included in the document. Would be nice if someone has an advice to me on to fix that, got it working under texexec by creating a cont-sys.tex and linking it to the directory where cont-sys.ori is located. Greetings Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz

mkii or mkiv? in mkii one can set the mp related directives in the cont-sys file, but depending on the distribution one might also need to enable write 18 in the config file (the used one can be found with) texmfstart --edit kpse:texmf.cnf mtxrun --edit kpse:texmf.cnf in mkiv things are done automatically as no external mp is used ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

texmfstart --edit kpse:texmf.cnf mtxrun --edit kpse:texmf.cnf
in mkiv things are done automatically as no external mp is used
the problem is that mkiv is not build the included metapost graphics, or has mkiv problems concering overlays or the project structure?

The problematic output is: mplib : initializing instance 'metafun' using format 'metafun' mplib : making 'metafun.mp' into '/opt/context-minimals/tex/ texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/ccfefc91ec3ed68af1aeed1f470fef4d/formats/ cont-en-metafun.mem' mplib : problems with 'metafun.mp' from '/opt/context-minimals/ tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/ccfefc91ec3ed68af1aeed1f470fef4d/ formats/cont-en-metafun.mem' !pages : flushing realpage 8, userpage 8 so what needs to be changed to get context mkiv running and creating the metapost output?

Ok problem solved... missing rights to write to /opt/context-minimals/tex/ texmf-cache/, just chmoded it 777 so it will be usable for graphic generation. Would be nice to include the possibilty to add in a standard way a personal texmf-cache, or is there a way to do so and I don't know about it?

grep for texmfcnf.lua this is a prelude to a replacement for texmf.cnf in mkiv 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Ok got this file Hans, and what would be a good replacement in there? would it be ok to something like return { TEXMFCACHE = '~/.context-minimals/texmf-cache', } ok or is it possible to use multiple paths in that syntax like: return { TEXMFCACHE = 'Path1', 'Path2' } unfortunately on this point there is no documention I can find. Thanks for your fast help Hans

sure. you probably need to run "luatools --generate" after a change

no, for the moment just one cache path (maybe in the future more but it is sort of tricky as quite some version testing has to be done then so it's not a good idea to implement that while mkiv is in flux 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Million Thanks Hans fixed it with the userspecific pathset and works like expected. WOW cool to get so fast and late so qualified help...

i'm clueless ... can others confirm such a problem?
