I'd like to start learning ConTeXt and I've just tried to compile a simple hello world:
\starttext
Hello world.
\stoptext
when compiling with texexec I get this output:
mtxrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.02 seconds/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require': /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/base/switch.rb:501: invalid multibyte escape: /\xFF/ (SyntaxError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
from /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:11:in `<main>'
I have ruby and all texlive packags installed except texlive-lang*. Searching for an answer I found an old discussion on the forum (2008) where it was suggested to run
luatools --generate
before using texexec, but this lead me to another error:
mtxrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua'
Am I missing some package-stuff necessary to compile ConTeXt code?
edit: looks like I was reading an obsolete guide. It is now reccomended to compile code with "context <filename>", which works fine.
