Re: [NTG-context] Re: Installation Problem
Patrick, Ah! I am looking in cont-tmf.zip and I see that there no longer is a /context/perltk. Unfortunately, the installation directions minstall.pdf in cont-tmf.zip says there is. Indeed, see pages 2 and 5, where it says to put \miktex\context\perltk on your path. Looks like the installation directions haven't caught up with the release. I'm going to try deleting the original context tree, unzipping again, then putting /miktex/scripts/context/perl on the path and I'll report what happens.

this is because texexec checks
if ( $TeXFormatFlag eq "" ) {
if ($TeXProgram =~ /(etex|pdfetex)/) {
$TeXFormatFlag = "-efmt=" ; # >=2004 -fmt=
} elsif ($TeXProgram =~ /(eomega)/) {

$TeXFormatFlag = "-fmt=" ;
} else {
$TeXFormatFlag = "-fmt=" ;
}
}
indeed, the texexec.rme file is changed accordingly; i needed that
change because & is giving to much problems in nested calls; also, next
year there will be changes again because from now on web2c formats will
be fmt, like
web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt
instead of
web2c/cont-en.efmt
(currently both -efmt and -fmt are handled by the latest pdfetex) ; i
didn't check miktex yet
<>and $TeXProgram is not set to $TeXExecutable (why the two different
vars?)
dunno, must have a look

Hello Hans,

yes. It gives me cont-en, cont-nl, metafun and mptopdf in the
current dir.
BTW: I use the current texlive (the last one shipped to members of
local tugs)
hm, i always have the impression that that version is sensitive for the location of
the cpx files; because i setup the texmf vars more rigurously --alone puts the formats
where they belong;
future versions of tex live need more care: officially the formats will go under subpaths in web2c, but tetex will not follow that scheme; so, it's good to keep an eye on where formats finally end up; since you install fonts yourself, you may also take a look at the enc/map settings (below); the textools script (in distribution) is able to correct the tree -)

it should not bark on the cp8bit (btw the latest version should use natural.tcx which is in the context distribution, cp8bit is flawed and not really 8 bit [straight in->out mapping is needed for instance for
runtime xslt processign and such]; next year we can use -8bit
(this whole 8 bit mess-up has been hauting me for years -)

I also tried creating /usr/bin/cont-en as a symlink to pdfetex and pdftex (not at the same time, of course). The results were, well, different: First, with cont-en as a link to pdftex: | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/tmp$ texexec ut.tex | | TeXExec 4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 | | executable : pdfetex | format : cont-en | inputfile : ut | output : standard | interface : en | current mode : none |TeX run : 1 | | This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00a-pretest-2004-ojmw (Web2C 7.3.7) | I can't find the format file `cont-en.fmt'! | |return code : 256 | run time : 1 seconds | | total run time : 4 seconds Can't find 'cont-en.fmt'? Well, that makes sense, doesn't it? Since, as I understand it, ConTeXt normally uses pdfetex, which would need cont-en.efmt. But it was worth a try. So then I tried pdfetex: | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/tmp$ texexec ut.tex | | TeXExec 4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 | | executable : pdfetex | format : cont-en | inputfile : ut | output : standard | interface : en | current mode : none |TeX run : 1 | | This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00a-pretest-2004-ojmw-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.7) | This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00a-pretest-2004-ojmw-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.7) | (/usr/share/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx) | ** | !

Is that referring to natural.tcx (which comes from the ConTeXt distribution)? And what about pdftex.cfg? Indeed, it doesn't exist. But it doesn't exist on the machines where I have ConTeXt working, either. So I don't know if either of the above results are meaningful. Oh, by the way, the input file was this: \usetypescriptfile [type-utopia] \usetypescript [UtopiaFace] \showbodyfont [Utopia] \end And yes, the typescript in question is available; both it and this test file have worked for me on another machine. -- Matt Gushee When a nation follows the Way, Englewood, Colorado, USAHorses bear manure through [EMAIL PROTECTED] its fields; http://www.havenrock.com/ When a nation ignores the Way, Horses bear soldiers through its streets. --Lao Tzu (Peter Merel, trans.) ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Just as a side note, why would the shell think the format is supposed to be a command? That makes me wonder if there is some incorrect quoting in the Perl script.

Well, I've deleted all the old ConTeXt directories, reinstalled the new version, copied the *.rme files to *.ini (or whatever they are supposed to be ... I think), regenerated the 'en', 'nl', and 'metafun' formats, and run texhash ... I'm still getting the same error. I also ran a diff comparing the texmf.cnf from the new installation with one from one of my working installation. The files are identical in everything related to ConTeXt. So, thank you both for your quick replies, but it looks like there's some other problem. BTW, this is a very new release of ConTeXt--June 16, according to the Pragma Web site.
