Hi,

Hans released a new current context yesterday. This is mostly a bugfix/ catchup release for mkiv functionality, but there are also a few other bugfixes.

See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2009.11.26 for details.

Best wishes, Taco

Hi Taco,

thanks for the announcement, and a short note, mostly for Mojca: the os x minimals still ship with a luatex binary that is broken wrt metapost (I haven't tested other platforms).

Working on it now.

I have successfully installed and run this latest ConTeXt (in the minimals).

What has happened to context --version and luatex --version?

Both now get “command not found”.

IIRC, mojca changed setuptex so that it only adjusts the PATH in the current subshell. Can that be the problem?

Hard to believe (though anything is possible).

My crystal ball says that Alan uses Mac OS X Snow Leopard with 32-bit kernel.

Alan, please: - fetch the latest first-setup.sh or set platform=osx-64 manually before calling mtxrun - you might need to remove --make from mtxrun and run mktexlsr/texexec --make manually until further notice (I need to fix some minor bug, sorry)

Hi, Mojca— You have a great crystal ball! I have set my platform to 64-bit kernel startup mode, re-started, and re-installed the latest from the minimals using ./firstsetup.sh Still no recognition of context --version and luatex --version. As for your other suggestions, I get “command not found” for mtxrun, texmfstart, texexec, mtexlsr. As you can probably also see in your crystal ball, I am at the limits of my knowledge of unix and how ConTeXt, luatex are installed. So while I am happy to test what you say and provide feedback, please don’t get trapped into dealing with me about a problem that will eventually go away anyway. (My installation does still work, after all-- well, except for some unresolved problems with multi-page tables, but that is another thread.) Very best, Alan

1. Check if you have either executed "source setuptex" (. setuptex) or set the path explicitely 2. Please check the contents of "/path/to/your/context/tex" by typing ls /path/to/your/context/tex ls /path/to/your/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin 3. What does echo $PATH say (after making sure that . setuptex is executed)?

Mojca

Mojca— 1. When I open Terminal, I always see the line Setting "/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex" as ConTeXt root. so I take it that .setuptex has been executed 2. ls /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex gets: mysetuptex setuptex.bat setuptex.tmf texmf-cache texmf-local texmf-project setuptex setuptex.csh texmf texmf-context texmf-osx-intel 3. echo $PATH gets: /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin Alan

Mocja— You are right. So to get the latest first-sstup.sh I ran $ curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh and when I run $ ./first-setup.sh --context-=stable I am now am denied permission Playing with the permissions -a or -u and using sudo does not seem to help. I am assuming that when I eventually run the new first-setup.sh I will find a new folder: /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/ Alan On Nov 28, 2009, at 09;45,35 , Mojca Miklavec wrote:

This indicates that you didn't update first-setup.sh itself. You need to fetch a newer version of first-setup.sh and check that "ls /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex" will contain the folder "texmf-osx-64".

That does indeed help. I have now run first-setup.sh successfully and all is well: there is a new “texmf-osx-64” folder right where it should be and context --version now works too. Many thanks, Mocja! Alan On Nov 28, 2009, at 11;38,27 , Mojca Miklavec wrote:

Does chmod +x first-setup.sh help?

(I usually copy-paste the command from http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/: rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh )
