Using teTeX-3.0, here is what I've done to switch from perl texexec to the ruby one: chmod +x /opt/teTeX/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb cd /usr/local/bin ln -s /opt/teTeX/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb texmfstart
copy these 3 lines into /opt/teTeX/bin/texexec: #!/bin/sh export RUBYLIB=/opt/teTeX/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby exec texmfstart texexec.rb "$@"
I've just seen, that there are a lot of symbolic links in the teTeX installation to /opt/teTeX/bin/texexec, so please forget my advice above. Now I'm doing it like this: - keep the link for texmfstart - copy these 3 lines into /usr/local/bin/texexec: #!/bin/sh export RUBYLIB=/opt/teTeX/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby exec texmfstart `basename $0` "$@" - /usr/local/bin must come before the /opt/teTeX/bin in your PATH - in /usr/local/bin you can create other symbolic links to texexec, for example texutil and texsync Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
