[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. My base system is Slackware LInux 10.0. -- John Culleton Short list of publishing/marketing books: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book packagers/coaches/consultants: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf Printers who are SPAN sponsors: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/printers.pdf ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Cheers, Peter As it happens, there isn't, and this a full Slackware install. I have installed many versions of TeXlive over the years. I have upgraded Context several times. This error message is new. If Ruby is necessary to make the minimal linux package offered on Pragma functional it would be helpful to specify that in the readme. I thought the Pragma Linux TeX package was self-contained. It would also be helpful if a fmtutil.cnf file were included so that fmtutil would work. I will try downloading ruby from somewhere, installing that and moving forward. If that doesn't work then I will give up on the Pragma minmal distro. It is a good idea, but it doesn't work correctly. -- John Culleton Short list of publishing/marketing books: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book packagers/coaches/consultants: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf Printers who are SPAN sponsors: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/printers.pdf ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

About one week ago, I installed the latest teTeX-beta (about 100 MB to download). And now I checked for usage of ruby: ls -lu `which ruby` -rwxr-xr-x1 root root 5363 Sep 23 2003 /usr/bin/ruby So, it seems, ruby wasn't needed... I've just made a little script for my brother to install the newest teTeX on SuSE (should work also for other distributions). Perhaps you'll find it useful, so I attach it to this message. Just run it as root and then log in again to get the right PATH. There is also the latest version of pdfTeX.
