[NTG-context] installation of ConTeXt
Hi, Do I really have to install ruby? I downloaded it, but can't find anything like install, setup or something like this. Even the readme is not very helpful at all. And another question: for using Ruby - and therefore ConTeXt - do I need cygwin?

There are two alternatives for installing ruby. Take this one: http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?RubyInstaller Even the readme is not very helpful at all. And another question: for using Ruby - and therefore ConTeXt - do I need cygwin? No. It does more harm than good.

[NTG-context] Installation of ConTeXt within TeTeX 3.0
I've been trying to install ConTeXt (ver 2005.08.31) within teTeX 3.0, installed from source exactly as described in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation but have run into problems. Everything goes smoothly until I get to the section entitled 'Install the zip archive'. When I type 'texexec -make -all' I get the following error (after much other output): language: patterns da for da loaded (n=6) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/tex/context/patterns/lang-da.pat ! Nonletter. l.24 .s[ aring]3 ? I tried simply responding 'R' to continue running silently but when I come to the next step: cp -a /root/.texmf-var/web2c/* /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c The .texmf-var/web2c folder is empty, so nothing useful gets copied. Currently, typing 'texexec --version' gives me the following: TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997- 2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992- 2004 kpathsea: Running mktexfmt cont-en.fmt fmtutil: no info for format `cont-en'. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt fmtutil: no info for format `context'. tex : unknown context : ver: 2005.01.31 cont-en : unknown which indicates to me that I should start again from scratch. I have followed the instructions in the above-mentioned Wiki page to the letter (although I wouldn't necessarily know if something had gone astray along the way given the complexity of TeX/ConTeXt etc.) This includes: * removing the default TeTeX installation in Fedora Core 4 * installing TeTeX from the latest source package * installing pdfetex update * installing MetaPost update * installing Latin Modern Font update Could anyone point me in the right direction please?

Everything goes smoothly until I get to the section entitled 'Install the zip archive'. I think I've found the source of your problem: teTeX's context files are in the tree beneath /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/. These should not be there, because they take precendence over the files in texmf-local. So, you end up with a mixed installation (old macros, new patterns), and that is the cause of the error you got. If you followed the QuickInstall instructions, the teTeX version of context should have ended up below /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist. Did you perhaps make a mistake there, or did you follow another installation instruction ? Cheers, Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Hello out there, did you (1) run mktexlsr (2) run texexec --make --alone (1) - tells tex where to find files (2) - makes a new format file After doing (2), you (well, not exactly you...) need to copy the resulting format file into tex's searchpath and perhaps you need to run mktexlsr again, so the format file will be found.
