MK IV new install /Mac OS X

MK IV new install /Mac OS X

Dear all,

I've been trying to install the TeX minimals on a new Mac. While MK II works, not so MK IV.
I get the error message MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

Here is what I did:

Downloaded TeXLive 2010 

Then followed the instructions at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/Mac_Installation

I did this a few years back without a hitch, so I am wondering what is different now.

In any case, in the above instructions, under Configuring ConTeXt, instep 4, 
the copies file has already the indicated changes in it.

I used the same paths as indicated and ran luatools --generate as well as context --make

Everything went ok without error messages. I then configured TeXShop as explained.
As I said, MKII works  fine but MKIV gives the error message.

I searched the wiki for it and there seem to be some related reports, but I couldn't find a resolution.

Any suggestions? If all fails I'll try to clone an older installation.


Matthias

I don't think you need or want TeXLive if you're installing minimals.

I know. I need TeXLive for non-ConTeXt  reasons and thought I should mention it in case there are interferences.

Well, yes, there will be. I'm afraid I can't help further as I don't
use the rest of TeX Live, as I only use ConTeXt Mk IV and TeXworks.

Did you run this for TL ConTeXt or the minimals ConTeXt. From a 
terminal run

source /path-to-context/tex/setuptex
mtxrun --generate

Then try compiling a test file from the terminal.

What does `which context` return?

/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/context

Great! Thus the wiki info to create 
 an executable  file ConTeXt-MKIV.engine containing

#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin:$PATH
export TEXMFCACHE=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-cache
context "$1"

in ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines
is slightly but catastrophically outdated. The file needs to read

#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH
export TEXMFCACHE=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-cache
context "$1"


With that, TeXShop works with MKIV.

Thanks again !

Matthias
