Please advise on how to solve.
The latest attempt to get ConTeXt up and running was by installing Tex Live
network installation.
Over the last month,
https://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx/context-freebsd-amd64.zip
has been downloaded and installed several times. Each effort ended with being
unable to solve this problem.
The LMTX download has nothing to do with TeX Live. You can install both
in parallel (as I have), but be careful about your PATH, you can’t mix
the installations!
in all cases the file being processed is doc01.tex from
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Introduction/Installation#Check_the_installation
Using the current Tex Live installation, the command
context --version
yields
mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.06
mtx-context |
mtx-context | main context file:
/zPoolData02/scratch3/TexLive/2025/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv
mtx-context | current version: 2025.10.27 22:10
mtx-context | main context file:
/zPoolData02/scratch3/TexLive/2025/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkxl/context.mkxl
mtx-context | current version: 2025.10.27 22:1
TeX Live usually installs in /usr/local/texlive (I don’t know about
FreeBSD though), did you change that intentionally?
If you installed the LMTX distribution as in
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Introduction/Installation, you should
close your terminal after installation, because the script bends the
PATH. You don’t want the mtxrun of the installation in your PATH.
