try

set RUBYLIB=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby
export $RUBYLIB

[NTG-context] about texmfstart

2006-05-12 Thread Dalyoung
Dear listers,

Forgive me for my beginner's question again.

As in the list(ntg-context Digest, Vol 23, Issue 28), I did the  
following:

cp /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ 
texmfstart.rb /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/ 
texmfstart
chmod 755 /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/texmfstart


After this, I issued
   texmfstart texexec --make --xetex en
or
   texmfstart texexec file.tex,

but there is no action at all. I also issued the following command  
and got the output like this.

**
input: texmfstart --verbose texexec
output:
texmfstart version 1.8.6
expanding 'texexec' to 'texexec.rb'
locating 'texexec.rb' in current path '.'
locating 'texexec.rb' in caller path '/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc- 
apple-darwin-current'
using kpse binary
unable to locate base/kpseremote|base/kpsedirect|base/kpsefast on  
library paths:

   /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8
   /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0
   /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby
   /usr/lib/ruby/1.8
   /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0
   .
   /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current
   /usr/local/teTeX/bin/lib
   /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/texmfstart-lib
   /usr/local/teTeX/texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby
   /usr/local/teTeX/texmf/scripts/context/ruby

an option is to point the RUBYLIB variable to

   /scripts/context/ruby

or to copy

   /scripts/context/ruby/base/kpse*

(including the kpse subpath) to e.g.

   /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/../lib/texmfstart/

or to use a stub instead

fatal error
unable to locate program
***

Would you please tell me how to make texstart working?

Thank you for reading.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

Re: [NTG-context] Repeating tabulate head/tail on every page

I tried now \starttables, but the result is also not perfect:
I have ca. 1/2 of a page of text and then the table should start,
spanning two to three pages.
However, with starttables, it only starts on the second page.

Example available from:
http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~tburnus/tmp/energy.tex (12571 bytes, 117
lines)

[NTG-context] Repeating tabulate head/tail on every page

2006-05-12 Thread Tobias Burnus
Hello,

I have a long tabulate which spans several pages.

I use:

\starttabulatehead
\HL
\NC  Energy  \NC Temp. \NC Magn. \NC Wavenumb. \NC Wavelength \NC Freq. 
\NC Energy \NC  Energy \NC\NR
\HL
\stoptabulatehead

\starttabulatetail
\HL
\stoptabulatetail

but this only shows the head/tail of the table at the very beginning and
very end of the table.
(Every row spans only a single line.)

[NTG-context] Custom \unknownreference and \dummyreference; plus custom unknownreference in m-bib

2006-05-12 Thread Tobias Burnus
Hi hans, hi Taco, hello all,

I used the following in my thesis (2 years ago) to make sure I won't
miss a unresolved reference:
---
\def\unknownreference{~\clap{\blackrule[width=1.5ex,height=1.5ex,depth=0.3ex]%
  \kern-0.3ex$\blacktriangleright$}%
  \normalunknownreference}
\def\dummyreference{$\blacksquare$}
---
which produced for unresolvable references:  "#>myRef#"  or  "#>#".

This does not work anymore. I only get "#myRef". How should one do it
nowadays?

* * *

In m-bib, actually not \unknownreference (or \dummyreference) but a
simple '??' is used (not even bold.
It would be great if this could be changed. (search for "{??}" and '
??\else'.)

[NTG-context] how to create texmfstart.exe?

2006-05-12 Thread Christian Schenk
I would like to include texmfstart.exe in the MiKTeX distribution, but I 
don't know how to build texmfstart.exe. Is there a simple recipe 
(Makefile) I can start with?
