I updated LMTX on MacOSX 10.13 today. The luatex binary in not executable, thus when I run axel$ context --luatex --version mtx-context | redirect luametatex -> luatex: luatex --luaonly "/usr/local/texlive/LMTX/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun.lua" --script mtx-context --luatex --version --redirected mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.02 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/usr/local/texlive/2019/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2019.03.21 21:39 it picks up the TeX-Live version. after I axel$ chmod 744 luatex I get the correct version: axel$ context --luatex --version mtx-context | redirect luametatex -> luatex: luatex --luaonly "/usr/local/texlive/LMTX/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun.lua" --script mtx-context --luatex --version --redirected mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.03 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/usr/local/texlive/LMTX/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2020.04.03 10:31 mtx-context | main context file: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/usr/local/texlive/LMTX/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkxl mtx-context | current version: 2020.04.03 10:31 Greetings Axel ___ 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 ___
[NTG-context] lmtx vs mkiv
