I'm sorry about that. Yes, the syntax change is my fault, but it won't
happen again. If I wanted to support
\useGNUPLOTgraphic[sin][1,3][width=.7\textwidth]
and alike, the curly braces didn't fit in so nicely.
The module has initially been part of ConTeXt (Hans has written most
of it at the beginning), but it was easier to develop it as a module
once I started writing metapost code for the dedicated terminal etc.
I have removed the faulty examples a few days ago (just didn't upload
the new version yet). I was trying to write code in such a way that
curly braces would work as well for backward compatibility, but failed
to do so (the code is there, but only half of it works). However, all
of these changes have happened rather early in the process and won't
happen again.
Moreover, it would be nice to get the TikZ terminal working with
ConTeXt (I need to find some time for it, and then finally convince
the gnuplot developers to include it into the binary).

Just pulling later won't help you (most probably?).
I'm now updating LuaTeX for windows to the development version if that
would change anything (but I doubt it). You can try again in several
minutes. I'm actually sitting near a windows machine, so I can also
try it myself now.

A rather safe thing to do is to unzip cont-tmf.zip to a location that you trust to be OK. You can unzip it to either /usr/local/share/texmf/ or to .texlive (check if one exists) and then regenerate formats in the debian way. If you put files to /usr/local/share/texmf/, the next, the next update (does it ever happen?) will update those files (uninstall might possibly leave some files there if they were not present in your previous installation). If you put context to your local tree, you only need to make sure not to forget about it. If you upgrade context with debian later, the tree in your home will have precedence. But in general there should be no problem updating some files on debian. If you don't trust ctxtools, just do it manually. You can also run rsync from minimals.contextgarden.net to update context files instead of downloading and extracting the zip from pragma.

aha indeed!
Setting TEXMF was missing from the instructions in debian... Or perhaps I
messed up my configuration in the past.
luatools --ini --compile cont-en
works now.
I will start playing with it.
A quick try of the example snippet did not work (see dump at end of
message) but I will look into it more and try Mojcas advice re
ctxtools --update.
ctxtools --update won't help you as you have some missing fonts (msam7.tfm).
http://packages.debian.org/etch/all/texlive-base/filelist claims that
the file should be present in texlive-base in Debian, so it's a bit
confusing.

I would say that the installation might be slightly broken, even if only a few variables are missing. How exactly did you install LuaTeX and latest ConTeXt?

I will start playing with it.
A quick try of the example snippet did not work (see dump at end of
message) but I will look into it more and try Mojcas advice re
ctxtools --update.
ctxtools --update won't help you as you have some missing fonts
(msam7.tfm).
http://packages.debian.org/etch/all/texlive-base/filelist claims that
the file should be present in texlive-base in Debian, so it's a bit
confusing.
Mojca
Hi Mojca,
There is a file here:
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/tfm/public/ams/msam7.tfm
But I don't know what else is needed.
I would say that the installation might be slightly broken, even if
only a few variables are missing. How exactly did you install LuaTeX
and latest ConTeXt?
Mojca,
I followed the instructions here, where applicable for debian sid:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation
Then the instruction in the README.MarkIV that appeared in the pckage
documentation directory (appended to end of post).
However I have been using context for years, and may well have messed
something up! It seems to work OK with my normal documents. Except I
notice \usemodule[gnuplot] does not work.

Setting TEXMF was missing from the instructions in debian...
This should not happen, but once you answer the question about how you
have installed it, it might become clearer.
Some time ago there was some problem on debian since Hans's lua
scripts were unable to parse TEXMFCNF (texmf.cnf) files properly, but
this might have been resolved in the meantime.
README.luatex
=
Mark IV is the name of the LuaTeX-aware part of ConTeXt; that is, when you
use ConTeXt over the LuaTeX engine instead of PDFTeX or XeTeX. You run it
with texexec --lua.
Currently the integration of Mark IV into Debian is not completely done,
especially because the details are currently worked out (see the dev-context
mailing list).
If you want to start using Mark IV the following the following few points
should get you started:
1) Right versions:
luatex = 0.20.2
context = 2007.12.20
2) environment variables and luatex-cache
Mark IV ships its own implementation of file searching and doesn't
use the ls-R databases, but luatex-cache. You have to tell luatools
where to find texmf.cnf, and then generate the cache:
export TEXMFCNF=/usr/share/texmf/web2c
luatools --generate --verbose
This will generate the luatex-cache in $HOME. If you want to put it
somewhere else set (and export) the TEXMFCACHE variable (like
export TEXMFCACHE=/tmp)
3) Generate a Mark IV format
This is not integrated into the usual format building process, and
probably will need some time to be worked out completely as the
current fmtutil cannot cope with Mark IV formats. Call
luatools --ini --compile cont-en
4) Now you can try some simple document like (thanks to Arthur Reutenauer)
\starttext
\ctxlua{a = 1.5 ; b = 1.8 ; c = a*b ; tex.print(c) ;}
or the equivalent:
\startlua
a = 1.5
b = 1.8
c = a*b
tex.print(c)
\stoplua
You can also do more elaborate calculations with the lua math library:
\ctxlua{tex.print($\string\\sqrt{2} = .. math.sqrt(2) .. $)}
\stoptext
and run it with
texexec --lua filename.tex

[NTG-context] Unable to generate luatex formats
[A] My experience is similar to Hans van der Meer's (quoted below).
luatools --generate does what I think it's supposed to.
luatools luat-env.lua returns a blank line.
[B] I followed Thomas Schmitz's instructions and used the
source .luatex method, for what it's worth.
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/
20071002.175335.21873a03.en.html
.luatex contains:
export TEXMFCACHE=/tmp
export TEXMFCNF=/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c
export TEXMF={/Users/michaelgreen/.texlive2007/texmf-config,/Users/
michaelgreen/.texlive2007/texmf-var,/Users/michaelgreen/Library/
texmf,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config,!!/usr/local/texlive/2007/
texmf-var,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/2007/../
texmf-local,!!/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist}
export LUAINPUTS={/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base,/
usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua,/usr/local/
texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua}
[C] Is there a chance that this is a permissions issue? I had to make
luatools.lua executable by hand.
None of the other files in that directory are executable, where
'that' directory is:
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua
mjg
From: Hans van der Meer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: [NTG-context] Unable to generate luatex formats
Same thing here. luatools luat-env.lua gives an empty line. After
luatools --generate again the same.
And I have TEXMFCNF and TEXMF defined in .bashrc
TEXMFCNF=/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c
TEXMF={/Users/hans/TeX/texmf-private,/usr/local/texlive/texmf-
context,/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf,/
usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-
dist,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-doc,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-
var}
So there must be something else amiis.

Re: [NTG-context] Unable to generate luatex formats
The two files Taco pointed to *appear* to be OK (though I'm too
inexperienced to say with certainty). That leaves something esoteric
or a tossed salad of old and new code.
Since this is mainly a matter of learning and curiosity for me, I'll
wait and see how things develop for a bit.
Thanks for your help!

I think either
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/luat-env.tex
is not the one from the latest context distribution, or an extra
luatools --generate command is needed.
You can check the \contextversion by looking at
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/context.tex
around line 45, it should say
\edef\contextversion{2008.04.11 14:48}
There can be some more esoteric causes, but these are the two most
likely ones.
in previou sversions the env was loaded runtime (this behaviour
originated in the stepwise development of embedding bytecodes in the
format, in the beginning all chunks were loaded at runtime); i managed
to get rid of that; in addition to taco's suggestions ... so it
could be
that old code and new code is mixed.
