cygwin has texinfo and I can not remove it because of dependencies. If I remove cygwin from the path (and use native windows' ruby) context works fine. I still have the old problem with metapost and windows' ruby. texexec --mptex does not work correctly. However, when I wrap the metapost examples in a \startstop MPpage in a tex file, they work fine. So, I have a working system though something is still wrong with the rubies. Cygwin ruby processes metapost files correctly, but not tex file. Windows ruby processes tex file correctly but not metapost. I will stick to the windows ruby, and use metapost from inside a tex file. I think that I need to do a fresh install of windows. But that will have to wait. At present context is working :) Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008 _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
