Description Michael Schmid 2011-08-30 17:00:29 UTC

Essential shell variables TEXMF and TEXMFCNF for the ebuild are not set.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run "luatools --variables" (provided by ebuild in question)
Actual Results:  
Error message:
mtxrun          | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua'.

The file in question was obviously not found.

Expected Results:  
A long list of resolved variables.

Also affects the main program of this ebuild, "context", which will not work as-is.


One possible solution appears to be:
export TEXMF="/usr/share/texmf-dist/"


Additionally (for "mtxrun --generate"), it may be wise to:
export TEXMFCNF="/etc/texmf/web2c"

should be fixed by upgrading to texlive-basic-2011-r1, thanks for the report!
