Re: [NTG-context] luatex-cache setup
I'm confused. my /etc/texmf.cnf file contains: TEXMFCACHE = /var/tex/cache and this directory exists but it is empty. Why is this being ignored? If I don't have a user-specific environment variable with that name, shouldn't the one from texmf.cnf be used? Furthermore, when I run kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFCACHE it shows that directory, but when I run texconfig, TEXMFCACHE does not appear under kpathsea variables. What is the problem? PS: I'm running context 2009.11.26-2, luatex 0.60.1-1build2, texlive-luatex 2009-10 on ubuntu 10.10.

What are the permissions of this directory? If I don't have a user-specific environment variable with that name, shouldn't the one from texmf.cnf be used? In the minimals distribution this is the case, I think the same goes for texlive. Furthermore, when I run kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFCACHE it shows that directory, MkIV doesn't use kpsewhich, but this shows that the value from your texmf.cnf is read. but when I run texconfig, I don't know what texconfig is for. TEXMFCACHE does not appear under kpathsea variables. What is the problem? I don't use texlive, I can only speak for the minimals distribution. But you can try the following (as a normal user): 1) Create a cache directory somewhere 2) set TEXMFCACHE to this directory and export it 3) Run mtxrun --generate 4) Run context --make 5) Run context on a simple hello world file The generated formats should be placed in the new cache directory. PS: I'm running context 2009.11.26-2, luatex 0.60.1-1build2, texlive-luatex 2009-10 on ubuntu 10.10. If you have troubles or want a more up-to-date system you should consider installing the minimals.
