Dear Mojca,

Here is the sequence that I used:

 cd context


 curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh

 sh ./first-setup.sh

source ./tex/setuptex

cd
echo '. ~/context/tex/setuptex' >> .bash_profile


luatools --selfupdate

mtxrun --selfupdate

luatools --generate

context --make

 sh ./first-setup.sh --extras=all


In TeXShop I  then run a one page file called Purser.tex . The console readout gives me:

TeXExec | processing document 'Purser.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | writing option file Purser.top
TeXExec | using randomseed 911
TeXExec | tex engine: luatex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en

MTXrun | using format name: /Users/charlesdoherty/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/e580c8be7dcf42f3c6968188a08f16d6/formats/cont-en.fmt

TeXUtil | temporary files: 0
TeXUtil | commands: 0
TeXUtil | programs: 0
TeXUtil | tuo file saved
TeXExec | runtime: 0.156153

From the above it seems to be a problem with the format.

Thanks for any help,
Charlie
