I normally do not use TL, but looked into it, and the texmfcnf.lua script
distributed with texlive does not look right. I am attaching the output of
mtxrun --generate that I get. Note the following liines:
resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/usr/bin'
resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/usr'
resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '.'
It looks as if you were using Debian/Ubuntu? Or any other flavour of
Linux with a native TeX Live package?
Yes and sorry, I should have mentioned that. I am using Texlive from
archlinux. I was under the impression that archlinux simply includes the
upstream pacakges without any changes, but it appears that TL expects that
it will be installed in /usr/local/.... so installing the binaries i n
/usr/bin confuses texmfcnf.lua
So I wonder how does context (MkIV) work at all with TL2012!
Maybe it just doesn't work with your linux box :P
One explanation could be that texmfcnf.lua hasn't been configured properly.
It works with plain TeX Live with default installation.
I'll check if Archlinux uses the same texmfcnf.lua as TL or not. If not,
I'll report a bug upstream to archlinux.
Is the expectation that texmfcnf.lua will work out of the box for a
standard linux installation (just like texmf.cnf), or should each
distribution tweak texmfcnf.lua?
