Mojca, I followed the instructions here, where applicable for debian sid: <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation> Then the instruction in the README.MarkIV that appeared in the pckage documentation directory (appended to end of post). However I have been using context for years, and may well have messed something up! It seems to work OK with my "normal" documents. Except I notice \usemodule[gnuplot] does not work.

You run it with texexec --lua. Currently the integration of Mark IV into Debian is not completely done, especially because the details are currently worked out (see the dev-context mailing list). If you want to start using Mark IV the following the following few points should get you started: 1) Right versions: luatex >= 0.20.2 context >= 2007.12.20 2) environment variables and luatex-cache Mark IV ships its own implementation of file searching and doesn't use the ls-R databases, but luatex-cache. You have to tell luatools where to find texmf.cnf, and then generate the cache: export TEXMFCNF=/usr/share/texmf/web2c luatools --generate --verbose This will generate the luatex-cache in $HOME. If you want to put it somewhere else set (and export) the TEXMFCACHE variable (like export TEXMFCACHE=/tmp) 3) Generate a Mark IV format This is not integrated into the usual format building process, and probably will need some time to be worked out completely as the current fmtutil cannot cope with Mark IV formats. Call luatools --ini --compile cont-en 4) Now you can try some simple document like (thanks to Arthur Reutenauer) \starttext \ctxlua{a = 1.5 ; b = 1.8 ; c = a*b ; tex.print(c) ;} or the equivalent: \startlua a = 1.5 b = 1.8 c = a*b tex.print(c) \stoplua You can also do more elaborate calculations with the lua math library: \ctxlua{tex.print("$\string\\sqrt{2} = " .. math.sqrt(2) .. "$")} \stoptext and run it with texexec --lua filename.tex -- John Devereux ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
