Thank you. Deleting symb-uni-zapf solved the problem. (There were at least two of these locked folders in my system, both a nuisance in this respect.)
 As far as the engine is concerned, both Wolfgang's and your suggested alternative engine texts work,  as did the original one, in the end. 

Thank you both

That is correct. In the first trials I inadvertently used an Engine with an error in the path name (result of migrating everything from another Mac and not checking things thoroughly) so that the minimals could not be found.

Hi,

Yes this is correct: TeXShop won't update to TeXShop 3 if you are using version 2.43.
Actually TeXShop 3 is a completely new version of TeXShop only for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion: it has many intersting features using the capabilities of Mac OS Lion (in particular one I apperciate very much is a feature which allows you to have all the versions of a file, something like a dedicated Time Machine to each file). For more information see Richard Koch's website
	http://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/texshop/

Best regards: OK

Your log implies that you are using TeX Live 2011, not TeX minimals.
You can try "which context". Also, it seems that you have a folder
   /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/symb-uni-zapf
without permissions to read it.

But later on you sent a different log.

Or even better to
    export PATH=/Users/robertblackstone/context-minimal-04-11/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH
    context $1

And try to delete symb-uni-zapf unless you need it.

I use TeXShop 2.43 (which, incidentally, tells me, when I check for updates, that it is the newest version available.) with an engine that reads:  

#!/bin/bash

source /Users/robertblackstone/context-minimal-04-11/tex/setuptex
context "$1"

This works on another Mac under OSX 10.6.

The log file when I try to typeset the .tex-file mentioned in the first sentence below is very brief:

The argument "/Users/robertblackstone/Dropbox/C-tests/Initials/Initials-test1.tex" is not a valid TEXROOT path.
(There is no file "/Users/robertblackstone/Dropbox/C-tests/Initials/Initials-test1.tex/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex")
...ne/context-minimal-04-11/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun:10769: cannot open /Users/robertblackstone/texmf/tex/symb-uni-zapf/: Permission denied

I have no idea what the folder symb-uni-zapf does in my texmf/tex directory. Should I perhaps thrash it? (I cannot change its permissions.)
And there is indeed no file: "/Users/robertblackstone/Dropbox/C-tests/Initials/Initials-Test-1.tex/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex" but why should there be one? 

Thanks also to Wolfgang Schuster and H. vd Meer for their quick replies that, though not offering an immediate solution, reassured me that I will eventually be able to use mkiv on this Mac.

Regards,

Robert Blackstone

Re: Problem with mkiv under MacOSX 7 (Lion)

Hi,

I use also Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 with TeXShop 3.06 and everything works perfectly, both mkii and mkiv from the Minimals (everything is also fine when invoking context from the command line in Terminal). However I never succeeded using mkiv from TeXLive…
Maybe you could say how you typeset your files in ConTeXt?

and in the directory ~/TeX/context/tex/texmf-local (actually a link to my own stuff).
Installing is done by cd'ing to ~/TeX/context and calling contextbeta.

My machine runs under Lion and I don’t have any problems.
