Thank you again Aditya and Khaled for getting ConTeXt working here. One more
question for the list:

Under MacTex or TexLive, not sure which one, on my 10.4.11 system, my setup
and env* files were located in ~/Library/texmf/tex/context/user/ I rsynced
that dir to  ~/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/user and ConTeXt is not
finding them. Could someone please where I should put these files so context
will find them? Thanks again,

Paul

Did you run mktexlsr (for MkII) or luatools --generate (for MkIV)?

In general, it is not a good idea to place your files in texmf-context 
tree. They will get deleted when you update context-minimals. You can 
create a folder ~/context/tex/texmf-local and store your own files in a 
tex/context/<anything> subdirectory there.

Thank you, after running luatools --generate, the files are found. The
command "context" (i.e. MkIV) is now finding errors with my setup files
which were created, and have always been used, under MkII - I get "!
Undefined control sequence" at \definelogo plus other errors.

After mktexlsr, MkII works as expected.

Is there a reference for commands/definitions which work in MkII but not in
MkIV?

Thanks again for your help,

Paul

I'm not trying to answer your question, but that is a bad idea since
your files will get overwritten the first time when you synchronize
with --delete (which might even be the default switch).

You should better put your files to
    ~/context/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/user

The texmf.cnf files now includes
     TEXMFHOME     = $HOME/texmf
but maybe we could add $HOME/Library/texmf to the list as well. Any
objections to that? (I just need to figure out how to properly nest
the braces.)

I would prefer $HOME/Library/texmf.

otr texmf-project if it's a project tree

the minimals

True, but it should be harmless if the folder doesn't exist on some other OS.

> i wonder what happens if someone has another tex installed then

TeX is supposed to be installed somewhere else (by default), not in
$HOME/texmf. People who do have those folders present usually know
what they are doing. Not all of them, but some random newbie would not
create a folder there.

There have been several complaints about missing TEXMFHOME and no
complaints about its presence since the time when we have added it
(must be a few months at least).
