Hello, I'm a LaTeX user trying to move to ConTeXt Mk IV. I'm having trouble
configuring my system on OS X. As a complete ConTeXt novice I'm not sure how
to debug this, but I really want to get Mk IV working for some upcoming
journal and book projects. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I understand that the current MacTeX/TeXLive 2009 testing versions have a
broken Mk IV due to an old Luatex, so I installed MacTeX 2009 for testing
and then upgraded Luatex to version 0.43 using the Contextgarden
instructions for "Running Mark IV", regenerating the Context formats etc.
using:
"luatools --generate"
"context --make --all"
"context --make cont-en" (is this necessary if I do --make --all?)
So far I can run a minimal test document and get pdf output, but I can't use
\showaccents, \showcharacters, etc. -- I get an "undefined control sequence"
error, The console output is below. I see the last line is referring to a
.mkii file, I suspect that's the problem but I don't know how to get it to
.mkiv...
If this can be fixed, next I will work on getting TeXShop to use Mk IV; now
it insists on using Mk II. Need an edited .engine file?
Thanks,
PPN
