(exact opposite of Pontus' approach). ah ok, now I see. My PATH env var. has not a TeXLive or minimals path by default. Every time I need a TeXLive or minimals, I open a shell and setup the its path and I never mix the paths --- just open another shell in another working spaces (In linux I use 16 working spaces) or another tab in gnome-terminal. In this way I can work with different TeXLive and different minimals For example I have under /opt/luatex/texlive 2008 2008-texmf-local 2009 2009-texmf-local 2010 2010-texmf-local
and ~10 different minimals under opt/luatex Of course this can be a problem with editors that expect just one path, but I use emacs, so... -- luigi ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
