not the latest binary ... i didn't check the build for that ... but it 
looks like that mac is off line

in the meantime:

ua error : function call: 
...ata/contextmacosarm64/tex/texmf-osx-arm64/bin/mtxrun.lua:6673: 
attempt to index a nil value (field 'mesh')

in that mtxrun.lua file go to those lines and comment the mesh bit or 
replace it with

     local mesh = vector.mesh

     if mesh then

         local ismesh  = mesh.ismesh
         local totable = mesh.totable

         setinspector("mesh",function(v)
             if ismesh(v) then
                 inspect(totable(v))
                 return true
             end
         end)

     end

do the same at the end of l-math.lua in order to be able to make a format.

If Mojca gets the machien online i'll update. Sorry for the problem,

Hans

ah, same issue ... that code expects the latest bin

the good news is that Mojca figured out why the mac didn't compile so i 
can now make a new bin
