What I did is copy setuptex to /etc/profile.d/setuptex.sh and then
hard coded the value of TEXROOT in setuptex.sh instead of having the
script set it from the command line argument.
echo $TEXMFCNF prints
$TEXROOT/texmf{-local,}/web2c
i'm puzzled because the loop you mentioned is not supposed to be entered
unless you run texmfstart as a kpseserver
do you use the latest versions of texmfstart etc?

[NTG-context] Stuck in texmfstart
This morning, when I try to run texexec, texmfstart gets stuck in the loop at line 262. It seems that in my thrashing around yesterday I made some transient change to the environment (I shut this system down at night). Any idea what that is? I also applied a kernel patch, so I suppose that could also be the problem. Neal ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

I also applied a kernel patch, so I suppose that could also be the problem. If a kernel patch breaks TeX I'd expect lots of other stuff to break as well. It is easy to manually set one of the variables from texsetup and forget to record the change somewhere that will survive reboots. Did you source texsetup manually (in the tex directory? What do you get for ruby `kpsewhich -format=texmfscripts texexec.rb` ..., which bypasses texmfstart.rb, where you can try ...=--check, etc.? -- George N.

you mean:
loop do
busy = false
filenames.collect! do |f|
f.gsub(/\$([a-zA-Z0-9\_\-]*)/o) do
busy = true
ENV[$1] || ($#{$1})
end
end
break unless busy
end
can you try:
loop do
busy = false
filenames.collect! do |f|
f.gsub(/\$([a-zA-Z0-9\_\-]*)/o) do
busy = true
puts #{f} = #{ENV[$1]}
ENV[$1] || ($#{$1})
end
end
break unless busy
end
and see what is reported
