On my systems, teTeX-3 does not include a texmfstart executable. One approach is to copy the texmfstart.rb script to "texmfstart" in a directory on your PATH. Earlier, I posted a script I have been testing to the list. The script uses kpsewhich to find the .rb or .pl script corresponding to the name used to invoke the script, and then runs perl or ruby with the full path to the script. This saves having to copy the scripts everytime you update context. > I tried to set $RUBYLIB to this directory but it doesn't change anything. RUBYLIB is set in the "setuptex" script from the minimal linux. For my simple tasks it doesn't appear to be needed, but setting it shouldn't hurt. -- George N.
