Hi,
I am new on this list. I use pftex and would use ConTeXt installed with
texlive/2007.
'ruby' and 'pdftex' work fine, but 'texexec' (texexec.rb "$@") is very slow.
Where con I get the doc or what shall I do ?
I do not know if this is related or not...but
Occasionally I also find that texexec is extremely slow. (Takes about a
minute to initiate and then runs fine). This happens, when my internet
connection is in a bad state (which means that ping to a server also time
out). In that situation texmfstart takes ages to get a response from drb.
Whenever I kill the process by ^C, the interupt is in the call to drb. I
do not remember the exact interupt message, but I will try to get more
information when this happens the next time. If I avoid texmfstart, ie,
run ruby $TEXMFCONTEXT/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb directly, it runs
fine.
