That was indicated in my reply to your first question; quoting myself: I would advise, however, to install additional packages either to the local texmf tree or to you personal tree. These are defined in the file /etc/ texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf as TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/share/texmf and TEXMFHOME = $HOME/TEXMF The point is: when SuSE installs a new version of texlive, it will simply overwrite your files (even if you have edited them) or delete the old directories. Moreover, if you make a mistake here, you can simply erase the directory and start over. That's why it is considered good practice to keep ths distribution files and your local/personal additions separate. > > Right. My Context is from 2007.

SuSE's texlive installation has some problems, esp. when you try to use luatex; 2. the latest ConTeXt release will also need the latest latin modern fonts, which (I guess) are not available as a package for SuSE yet. 3. This being said, it is entirely possible to update ConTeXt within your SuSE texlive installation (I have been doing this for several years now). - create directory /usr/local/share/texmf - cd /usr/local/share/texmf - sudo wget http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip - sudo unzip cont-tmf.zip - sudo texhash - sudo texexec --make --all --pdftex - sudo texexec --make --all --xtx >> Which manual says >> that ConTeXt expects pure ASCII input? > > This one: mp-cb-en.pdf.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt on MikTeX broken
Hello, some time ago some MikTeX users have complained that ConTeXt doesn't work on MikTeX. It seems to be a problem with MikTeX itself since this workaround seems to solve the problem, at least temporary: ruby "C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\scripts\context\ruby\texmfstart.rb" texexec (But apparently there are not many MikTeX users on the list anyway. Else more would have complained.)

MikTeX does help. Quite some users report that the latest version of ConTeXt is currently broken though (and yesterday updating MikTeX was broken). I had no chance to check, but in theory it should work (you need to use MikTeX 2.7). I guess that even the module itself is included in MikTeX. > Download and install rpm packages (or other files) rarely turns > out to be good.

Can you try this? mkdir context && cd context rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh . ./first-setup.sh and then put something like . ~/context/setuptex ~/context to .bash_profile or .bashrc or only execute that command once you need it (it will shield your global tex installation, but you can remove it at any time). This will only "install" a local copy. If you need to fix the global installation, one option is to update "only" ConTeXt files, for example with rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/current/ location-of-your-distro/texmf-something (test to a temporary location first) But: - you also need to update LM fonts - I would also suggest to update the xetex and xdvipdfmx binary in that case. XeTeX before winter works extremely slowly with latest ConTeXt > "CONTEXT expects a plain ASCII input file.
