Re: [NTG-context] the system not working on Linux 32 with Context-lmtx

Hi, I had/have a very similar problem on FreeBSD with TeXLive 2021, with the same context.lua not found message, which I posted about a while ago. I “resolved” it by setting TEXMF to point to my texmf-dist directory, in my case /usr/local/share/texmf-dist. It would be nice for it to work without setting TEXMF. Without setting TEXMF, running "mtxrun —generate” guesses a little differently, then attempts to scan all of /usr, and then fails when parts have no read permission. I suspect it is working when you are in /usr/share/texmf-dist because the “collapsepath” function in mtxrun is collapsing “/../..” from /usr/bin to “.” instead of “/“. (Which seems like a bug, but I’m not sure.) If I run “TEXMF=/usr/local/share/texmf-dist context file.tex” things run correctly, and a ~/.texlive2021 directory is created. Running “TEXMF=/usr/local/shared/texmf-dist mtxrun —generate” runs without error but also doesn’t generate a ~/.texlive2021 directory. The real problem seems to be that mtxrun doesn’t deal well with the filesystem layout case of “/top-level/bin/mtxrun” and “/top-level/share/texmf-dist”. Regards, Jan M.

as Hraban points out, "mtxrun --generate" is your friend.

I can simply reproduce you error with:

mtxrun --scripts cache --erase

So I get:

$ context mtxrun | unknown script 'mtx-context.lua' or 'mtx-mtx-context.lua'

Everything works fine again after I run:

mtxrun --generate.

Before the first run after installation, this command is mandatory to build the database.

I hope it helps,

Pablo

Hi Pablo and Haram,

When I was running mtxrun --generate, there was an interference with TeX Live, so I uninstalled it, then it worked. I do not know if that time I did run mtxrun. But under TeXworks when I selected context as program it kept electing luametatex, and it didn't work; so I manually wrote "context" and it worked!!

Thanks for your help,

Alain
