Thanks. It is downloading now. I'll let you know how it turns out.

MKII works: texexec --mode=manuscript --result=Manuscript.pdf --purge TheFourCs.tex ConTeXt ver: 2010.02.01 11:19 MKII fmt: 2010.2.1 int: english/english ....

Thanks, Roger

Two remarks: 1.) Thomas, can you please send me the patch (I can write it myself, but I will not be 100% to get it right). It seems that we need to modify that in several different places (mtx-something.lua, setuptex and first-setup.sh). 2.) The error is not related to minimals/wrong architecture. There may be several reasons. Different shell? Missing mkiv formats? (Can you try "luatools --generate"? It could be that mtxrun doesn't find ctxtools.) Something third? Does compiling a simple document work? Mojca

Agreed. I see the same problem on an X86_64 system.

Different shell?

echo $SHELL -> /bin/bash (4.0_p28)

Missing mkiv formats? (Can you try "luatools --generate"? It could be that mtxrun doesn't find ctxtools.)

Tried that. I still get the same error.

Something third?

As Hans remarked: it is --purge that triggers the error.

Does compiling a simple document work?

% simple.tex \starttext \input knuth \stoptext texexec --purge simple.tex -> Output written on simple.pdf (1 page, 28424 bytes). texexec simple.tex -> Output written on simple.pdf (1 page, 28424 bytes). The document is always produced correctly, but --purge does not do its job and produces the errors listed in my original post. Cheers, Roger

OK, that's reproducible here as well.

Different ruby version? I have no errors here, and $ ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [x86_64-linux] Best wishes, Taco
