I managed to typeset with success by typing in

:let g:context_mtxrun = 'PATH=$HOME/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH mtxrun’
:ConTeXt

When I put this into my .vimrc file nothing is working, do not even find the context commands, so I removed the .vimrc and then it worked again.

So the question is where do I put this line permanent because it is strange to type this every time I want to typeset something.

Regards

Janne
