Same here... I haven't managed to run mkiv for months. Not a huge deal, but anyway.

Just a comment on MkIV. I don’t remember exactly, but I’m afraid that "context --luatex document" hasn’t been working on my computers (either running Linux or Windows) for months now. This isn’t important for me, but just in case it may be relevant for you. If I run "context --luatex document", I get a new directory '$HOME/.texlive2021/texmf-var' created (which includes a "luatex-cache" directory inside) When I run "mtxrun --generate", all required files are generated in "$HOME/context/tex/texmf-cache/luametatex-cache". I wonder why "mtrun --generate" doesn’t generate a "luatex-cache" directory in the same directory containing "luametatex-cache". BTW, the '$HOME/.texlive2021/texmf-var/luatex-cache/" directory only contains an empty 'context/d10b607aa0e9d13dde6602f491b76cbc/trees/' path. Just in case it may be relevant and many thanks for ConTeXt, Pablo ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________

[..] and how about

context --luatex --generate

Many thanks for your reply, Hans. I’m afraid it doesn’t work. It still generates data under $HOME/.texlive2021/, but it tries to read data (to generate the format file) from $HOME/backup-context/01062022_context/, which is a backup I have, instead of $HOME/context (which is the actual directory where ConTeXt is installed). Even with the HOME/backup-context/ directory hidden, I get the following error when Irun "context --luatex document" (after having run "context --luatex --generate"): system > lua > loading of file 'context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/luat-exe.lua' failed: cannot open context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/luat-exe.lua: No such file or directory resolvers > lua > loading file 'context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/luat-exe.lua' failed error loading file: luat-exe.lua (aborting)resolvers | formats | resolvers | formats | binary path : /usr/bin resolvers | formats | format path : /home/ousia/.texlive2021/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/d10b607aa0e9d13dde6602f491b76cbc/formats/luatex resolvers | formats | luatex engine : luatex resolvers | formats | lua startup file : /home/ousia/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/luat-cod.lua resolvers | formats | context file : /home/ousia/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-en.mkiv resolvers | formats | run time : 0.100 seconds resolvers | formats | return value : okay resolvers | formats | mtx-context | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting system | total runtime: 1.505 seconds Many thanks for your help, Pablo
