Re: relative references in OSX Lion

[Ian Lawrence <physics.rooted@gmail.com>]

Is anyone else successfully running context on OS X Lion?

Apparently the relative references work in the terminal - that's the command line interface to unix. I can move around different folders using relative reference there. However there is a complete failure to repeat relative references within Context (absolute references work fine). Even with well structured tex files from Wolfgang or Willi…

I have razed the whole context installation and reinstalled the latest beta (ConTeXt  ver: 2011.08.23 13:04 MKIV  fmt: 2011.8.23  int: english/english).

No joy at all…so anyone else using Lion?

Thanks

Ian
