You need a newer context version.


OK, thank you, that helped. Everything is fine from the command line.

I seem to be overlooking something as to the setup of TeXworks, though. I
copied the programme calls from the tools.ini that came with the ConTeXt
standalone version into the present tools.ini that lives in my personal
TeXworks config folder. I also added /usr/local/context/bin to the "paths
for TeX and friends" in the TW preferences window.

Now TW starts the correct mtxrun, but the run crashes with, after a lot of
file searching:

mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

Try to run (the correct) "mtxrun --generate" either from the command
line (or from TW just before you start ConTeXt if the command line
doesn't help).

That wasn't it. Below is the logfile. The command issued by TeXworksshould be


    mtxrun --autogenerate --script context my_extensions001.tex

A file "texmfcnf.lua" is found at three places:

/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (last modified:25/03/2016)

    /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (last modified: 25/03/2016)

/usr/local/context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (last modified:28.11.2012)


The last one is the one I installed this morning.

Cheers -- Thomas
