[NTG-context] TeX Live and ConTeXt MKIV installation and maintenance
Hi all, There now is a wiki page documenting the setup and maintenance of mkiv: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV The page can still be improved upon (of course), so if you know of something that needs to be added or explained better, please do so. I wrote this page with the texlive 2008 users in mind, but I think most of it applies to the new context minimals as well. For the people not on the texlive list: After ample consideration and discussion, we have decided that texlive will not attempt to do any configuration of mkiv at all other than making sure the three commands (luatools, mtxrun, context) are available in the bin directory. Everything else is left up to the user. But of course we don't want every single texlive context user to ask the same set of questions again and again, so it is helpful to have a wiki page that explains post-install configuration and maintenance. If you are a mkiv user already, or willing to experiment trying to get mkiv running, please have a look at that wiki page. By the way, context on texlive2008 will be 2008.05.21. Mkii (pdftex as well as xetex) runs out of the box, no post-install intervention needed. But if someone is willing to do some extra tests, that will be much appreciated.

Luigi, you can download the compressed iso image at a CTAN mirror under / systems/texlive/Images. It's 935 MB, so if you're on a slow connection, you'll be back next week... Then, refer to the installation instructions on the wiki: http:// wiki.contextgarden.net/TeX-live The most important thing is that after installation (befor you try to build the formats etc.), you should make sure that the new binaries come in your $PATH before anything else, so something like export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux $PATH should get you going. Once that is done, everything else is almost automatic: the kpathsearch library will find the other parts of the TeX installation relative to the place where its own binaries are, so when you invoke fmtutil-sys --all, all the format files will be placed in the new trees. If you decide you want to revert to your old system, simply remove /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-linux from your path again. I hope I'm not forgetting anything important...

rpmbuild --rebuild --force http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/texlive.nosrc.rpm With a not too bad connection to the Internet and enough disk space, this works quite well (no headaches!). and maybe also with a very recent rpm. Sadly, my rpm (v4.4.1 on Ubuntu) segfaults with that command. The bug is entered in the Redhat bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227333 With rpm development happening again, hopefully it'll be fixed. I couldn't get a recent rpm to compile here in order to test whether it's already fixed. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R.

The bug is entered in the Redhat bugzilla: Hello Sanjoy, no problem with rpm-4.4.2 from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/ You could also try cd /tmp wget http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/texlive.nosrc.rpm rpmbuild --rebuild --force /tmp/texlive.nosrc.rpm or: cd /tmp wget http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/texlive.nosrc.rpm rpm -i /tmp/texlive.nosrc.rpm rpmbuild -bb --force /usr/src/packages/SPECS/texlive.spec Does one of these alternatives work?

[NTG-context] Tex Live 2004 + context
Today I was about to install TeX Live 2003, to then install Context lastest release. But I found that Tex Live 2004 was released the 27th (3 days ago). I notice the texmf directory structure has been changed in 2004. What do you guys recommend? 2003+context? Or is the latest context installation compatible with the new TeXLive2004 texmf directory? Please advise. Ciro==Ciro A. Soto"All problems are at the interface. Each one of them has a solution."___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
