When I write:
source /Users/robertblackstone/context-minimals-04-06-11/tex/setuptex,
(this is the correct name)
in all but one caseTerminal responds with:
"/Users/robertblackstone/context-minimals-04-06-11" is not a valid TEXROOT path.
(There is no file
"/Users/robertblackstone/context-minimals-04-06-11/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex")
provide a proper tex root (like '. setuptex /something/tex')"
Only if I change the working directory to
/Users/robertblackstone/context-minimals-04-06-11/tex/ the response
is: "Setting "/Users/robertblackstone/context-minimals-04-06-11/tex"
as ConTeXt root." and I can process tex-files both with mkii and mkiv
. The resulting pdf, however, placed in the same working directory, is
not correct.
I found, helped by ConTeXt garden, that I could activate
ConTeXt-minimals-04-06-11 on this machine by typing:
"export PATH=/Users/robertblackstone/ConTeXt-minimals-04-06-11/tex/texmf-osx-ppc/bin:$PATH"
from any directory and get the correct output.
I accordingly changed the TeXShop engine and that also works now.
The only issue still remaining is the interruption during the
installation process. I have no clue as to what could be the cause. I
tried to avoid it by running "umask 0022" and even "umask 0002" before
creating the new minimals directory, but that did not help.
But using ctrl-D a few times, as Mojca suggested, when the
installation process stops midway, eventually results in a usable
minimals. Maybe some functions do not work but I have not yet
discovered any.
So that might not be a real problem after all.
Thanks for the help.
Kind regards,
Robert Blackstone
