→Breezy (5.10): tetex is obsolete
''Breezy's support ends in April 2007, so you are advised to upgrade (one Ubuntu release at a time) to a more recent release in order to run a secure system; Dapper (6.06) will be supported until 2009, so that could be a good choice.'' The following instructions are for those who cannot (or do not wish to) upgrade.
Ubuntu 5.10 does not include a TeX installation by default. The distribution that you get when you install TeX is teTeX-2.0.2, which is too old and will not work with recent ConTeXt versions. So you should not install itSince teTeX is obsolete, but your best bet is to follow the instructions for advice on the [[TeTeX_3.0_installationTeX Live]]. However, you first must install supplementary packages not included in Ubuntu by default (and I hope I'm not forgetting anything; a number of dependencies will automatically be installed as well): # sudo apt-get install build-essential bison flex libncurses5-dev ruby Install these packages before trying to compile teTeX 3.0 or running newer ConTeXt release (which use ruby rather than perl), or you will get errors during the compilation or have problems running the resultspage.
