Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

2015-12-17 Thread Bruce Boghosian

Dear Otared:

Thank you very much!  The third solution works very well when I select the 
"ConTeXt-MKIV" program.

I am still experimenting with the other two solutions, but at least I now have 
a method to get started learning ConTeXt.

Best regards,
Bruce

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

2015-12-16 Thread Bruce Boghosian

Dear Otared:

Thank you for your reply.

I had indeed created the file "ConTeXt Suite.engine" in directory 
~/Library/TeXShop/Engines, per the instructions on the Mac Installation web 
page.  That web page recommended a tcsh shell version of your bash shell 
script.  I suppose that either should be fine; at this point, I have tried 
both.  Of course, I changed the path variable to include my local installation 
of ConTeXt.

Then I noticed that your engine was named "mkiv.engine," rather than "ConTeXt 
Suite.engine," so I tried that as well.

As of this morning, none of the above tactics seem to succeed in getting 
TeXShop to recognize ConTeXt.  When I try to process the test file from within 
TeXShop, it continues to terminate with the error that it does not recognize 
the command \startsection.

Again, however, everything works just fine from the command line.  So I think 
that the ConTeXt installation is fine.

Also, FWIW, I note that de Boer's document, "LaTeX in proper ConTeXt" 
recommends compiling from the command line using texexec rather than context.  
This does not work for me.  The command "texexec" exists, and I can run it, but 
it does not produce a .pdf file -- just a .tmp file.

Anyway, sorry for the newcomer questions.  Once I get over this hurdle, so that 
I can run ConTeXt easily from within TeXShop, I am confident that I will be 
able to learn the language without bothering the list so frequently.

Best regards,
Bruce

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

2015-12-16 Thread Bruce Boghosian

I see, thanks.  I did use --engines=luatex.  I was aware that Mark II had been 
superseded by Mark IV, but I hadn't realized that texexec was the same thing as 
Mark II.  OK, so I won't worry about that issue any more.

It seems that my only remaining problem is the aforementioned TeXShop issue.  I 
will keep working on it.

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

2015-12-15 Thread Bruce Boghosian

Thank you very much for your replies.  I have now tried this, both with 
--context=beta, --context=current, and without a --context flag, and the result 
is always the same.  The command

$ sh ./first-setup.sh --context=current --modules=all --engine=luatex

returns many errors before giving the error message described.

I installed ConTeXt in $HOME/context/

Below are the requested outputs.  (My home directory has been replaced by 
[$HOME] in the outputs.)  Note that the first command hung.

$ cat $(kpsewhich context.mkiv) | grep edef.contextversion

I have made good progress today, thanks to the help of this list.  Thanks!

I can now run the example on the First Document 
 web page, running ConTeXt from 
the command line.  That works perfectly.

When I try to run the same file from within TeXShop, however, it tells me:

I have created the file "ConTeXt Suite.engine" in directory 
~/Library/TeXShop/Engines, per the instructions on the Mac Installation 
 web page.

So I am not sure why TeXShop does not know about \startsection.  I would be 
grateful for your advice on this.

Sincerely,

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with first setup of StandAlone ConTeXt

2015-12-15 Thread Bruce Boghosian

Dear Mojca:

It was being set in my .bashrc file.  I have not used fink in years, so I am 
afraid I do not remember if fink put it there.  In any case, I removed it and 
restarted the shell, and TEXMFCNF no longer appears in the output below:

$ export | grep TEX
declare -x 
TEXMF="/Users/bruceb/.texmf-config:/Users/bruceb/.texmf-var:/Users/bruceb/Library/texmf:/sw/etc/texmf-config:/sw/var/lib/texmf:/sw/share/texmf-local:/sw/share/texmf:/sw/share/texmf-dist"
declare -x TEXMFCACHE="/tmp"
declare -x __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING="0x1F6:0x0:0x0"
$ 

...and yet, the problem persists -- again no matter how the --context flag is 
set.

Would it help if I sent you the full output of the following command?

$ sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all --engine=luatex

It seems to contain many, many soft errors of the form

resolvers   | globbing | confusing filename, name: 'ChangeLog', lower: 
'changelog', already: 'CHANGELOG'

and

resolvers   | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path
