Hi,
Thanks Aditya!
I tried this again with
\starttext
\typefile{/tmp/xxx.tex}
\stoptext
and could trace what's going on ... (not even /tmp/xxx.tex worked)
The lines below is the trace output belonging to "/tmp/xxx
stat("tmp/xxx.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("../tmp/xxx.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("../../tmp/xxx.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
stat("tmp/xxx.tex.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("../tmp/xxx.tex.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
stat("../../tmp/xxx.tex.tex", 0x7fff5dc73d90) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
I could verify that "tmp/xxx.tex" is actually found!
current version: 2012.11.16 23:51
Anything I can do about that? (I guess I can work with relative paths
below - tested this ...)
Context Version: current version: 2012.11.16 23:51
System: Debian 3.2.32-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
regards
Erik
