Re: [NTG-context] Installation problem (was Updates without rsync)

Re: [NTG-context] Installation problem (was Updates without rsync)
All I've got to do now is get Scite working again :-( Why not Emacs :) It's also quite nice for ConTeXt. P. I used Emacs when I was young and idealistic, but over the years all those keyboard commands have been beaten out of me and it's beyond me now ;-) I did try it again recently in a flood of nostalgia, but I just couldn't get to grips with it again. Scite is okay, and hitting F7 to build a document is handy. It's missing a few features, though, which would make it great e.g. a user-configurable toolbar, so that we could add toolbar icons for ConTeXt commands (I'm always forgetting the order of options and a button which inserted a \placefigure command with reminders would be fantastic). Anyway, that's a bit off topic. Regards, Richard Converteam UK Ltd. Registration Number: 5571739 and Converteam Ltd. Registration Number: 2416188 Registered in England and Wales.

TeX Live and the minimal ConTeXt you installed are both structured so all the files are under a single top-level directory (but, because some installs may put the files on a read-only filesystem, some generated files may end up under the user's home directory). For TeX Live all you have to do is make sure the bin/arch directory is before /usr/bin in the PATH, while the minimal ConTeXt uses the variables set by setuptex. I use the environment modules package to switch between distros (e.g., Red Hat's teTeX when building packages from .src.rpm's, TeX Live for my documents, and one or more test distributions). George, taco, thank you for the help. You are very welcome. Not everyone is as persistent or willing to provide adequate detail so they can be helped.

The kpsewhich utility is used to search the ls-R databases and can
also display the values of variables. Unfortunately, the documentation
is probably not in the minimal configuration you have. If you can
find another system with TeX, try info kpsewhich.

rpm -q tetex-dvips
rpm -q tetex-fonts
rpm -q tetex-latex

When I try to run texexec against the test file given in the installation instructions I don't get a dvi or pdf file. The output is: What instructions did you follow, precisely? I see some problems in your output, but it will be easier to explain using those instructions. I followed the instructions at: http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/minstall.pdf First I used the TeX that came with my Linux distribution (RedHat Enterprise Linux v4) but that didn't work (perhaps it was too old). Then I installed teTeX ( http://www.tug.org/tetex/ ) which came with an old version of context that got in the way. I removed that old version and installed the version from here ( http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/current/cont-tmf.zip ). The cont-tmf.zip archive doesn't (directly) update programs (texmfstart, texexec, etc.) Tetex's texexec is a script that runs perl on the result of 'kpsewhich -format=texmfscripts texexec.pl'. You need to make sure kpsewhich finds the new texexec.pl. You can also try the version I posted recently that looks for the ruby scripts. I like to keep context in a separate tree, texmf-cont, so it is easy to see what files comes from cont-tmf in logs, etc. Thomas Esser has (apparently just) announced that he will no longer be maintaining teTeX. Which version of TeX do you recommend I install? Hans mentioned the minimal context linux distribution. Red Hat will have to make a decision about TeX. In the interim, you may have to do a bit of extra work to stay current. The nice thing about teTeX and TeX Live is that they have been designed so they can be self-contained, with texmf trees and binaries under one top-level directory so you can add and remove them without the need for a package manager to keep things sorted. -- George N.

Perhaps even all font files present in the standalone distribution? I think that many users were already asking for that. Could you please advise me what I'm supposed to do to have the metric files found and whether I must update my obsolete pdfTeX and eTeX to handle the problem. Updating pdfTeX won't solve that concrete problem, but you might encounter other problems. So - yes, you are warmly suggested to update the whole distribution. Read this carefully: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation esp. the section with fonts. You have to install Latin Modern fonts: http://www.ctan.org/info?id=lm Also, I'm interested if Russian language is supported by ConTeXt out of the box or not. It is, but you have to have some proper fonts installed. Antykwa-torunska, iwona and kurier have cyrillic glyphs and ship with minimal context distribution on Pragma's website. There are surely many other fonts like cm-super, different postscript fonts, ... It might be that you will have to add some font definitions first, but I think that people are ready to help you with that. I'm attaching an example for writing in Russian, but you'll have to install proper fonts before you'll be able to compile the sample file (http://www.janusz.nowacki.strefa.pl/torunska.html in that case). I'm using that font just because I don't have any other cyrillich font installed: you'll probably want to use some other font anyway. (Search for file names *t2a*.tfm in your TeX tree.)

cont-en.efmt is a format file that ConTeXt need to run. In order for this file to be built, run texexec --make en de nl This will create English, Dutch, and German formats (see minstall.pdf, p. 6-8).

I keep getting the following error: sh: cont-en: command not found I have Googled for information on this problem, but the solution I found doesn't make sense to me. In response to a previous inquiry on this list, someone wrote: but the absence of cont-en that is the problem. Or if cont-en exists, it is not in your path or not executable. But what exactly is this 'cont-en'? I have two machines with working ConTeXt systems, and neither of them has a command with exactly that name. So I imagine the reference is to a file named 'cont-en.extension'. But there is more than one such file, and none of them seems to be a type of file that would normally be made executable (nor are they executable on the machines where I have ConTeXt working). Any thoughts as to what's wrong? Oh, yes, my system is: Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 teTeX 1.0.2 * Note that teTeX comes with an old and not-properly-configured version of ConTeXt. I unzipped the new package over that ... could something left over from the old ConTeXt be causing the problem?
