Referring to the path problem, I went through all kinds of set PATH gyrations and modifications to /etc/profile but with no success.

[NTG-context] Using capsule versoion of TeX from Pragma.
To help solve some other problems I disabled the path to my existing TeXLive distro, downloaded the minimal Linux-tex from Pragma, and unzipped it in /usr/local. Following TeXLive conventions I established a path to /usr/local/tex/texmf-linux/bin in /etc/profile and rebooted. The executables at the end of that path were not executable so I made them executable. (chmod 777 *) I also made the setuptex script in /usr/local/tex executable. Per the instructions in setuptex I ran the following: ./setuptex . #note period mktexlsr texexec --make --alone and got the following error message /usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory at this point I thought I had best stop stumbling around and ask for help.
