This past weekend I attempted and update on my FreeBSD distribution, and it failed with the following error:
open source > level 1, order 56, name 'supp-box.mkxl' loading > ConTeXt Support Macros / Boxes lua error > lua error on line 43 in file supp-box.mkxl:
token call, execute: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/node-ini.lmt:214: attempt to index a nil value (global 'mathematics') stack traceback: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/node-ini.lmt:214: in metamethod 'index' ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/supp-box.lmt:37: in local 'code' ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/util-lua.lua:97: in field 'loadedluacode' ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/luat-env.lua:108: in field 'luafilechunk' ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/luat-cod.lmt:82: in function 'lua.registercode' [ctxlua]:1: in main chunk <empty file> A number should have been here; I inserted '0'. (If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number, look up 'weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.) <<< I subsequently tried a fresh installation with the same error message. I haven't seen mention of this elsewhere, and so am assuming that this might be a FreeBSD specific issue? advTHANKSance. -- Pavneet Arora m: +1 647-406-6843 Waroc Informatik e: pavneet_arora@waroc.com
