Problem 1: with sh ./first-setupsh I get Context current version: 2013.10.15 13:52. though it should. I think, be version 2013-10-20 07:11.
Problem 2: (noted before?) compiling with this Standalone (ConTeXt ver: 2013.10.15 13:52 MKIV beta fmt: 2013.10.24) fails at/with
fonts > names > identifying system font files with suffix 'ttf'
fonts > names > globbing path '/Users/alancbowen/Library/Fonts/**.ttf'
fonts > names > globbing path '/Library/Fonts/**.ttf'
mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted
Curiosity 1: compiling with the same version of the Standalone (ConTeXt ver: 2013.10.15 13:52 MKIV beta fmt: 2013.10.15) which had been installed before upgrading to Mavericks works.
I fear Mavericks is living up to its name.
