It is easy to manually set one of the variables from texsetup and forget to record the change somewhere that will survive reboots. Did you source texsetup manually (in the tex directory? What do you get for "ruby `kpsewhich -format=texmfscripts texexec.rb` ...", which bypasses texmfstart.rb, where you can try ...=--check, etc.? -- George N.

[NTG-context] Stuck in texmfstart
This morning, when I try to run texexec, texmfstart gets stuck in the loop at line 262. It seems that in my thrashing around yesterday I made some transient change to the environment (I shut this system down at night). Any idea what that is? I also applied a kernel patch, so I suppose that could also be the problem. Neal ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
