Is anyone else successfully running context on OS X Lion? Apparently the relative references work in the terminal - that's the command line interface to unix. I can move around different folders using relative reference there. However there is a complete failure to repeat relative references within Context (absolute references work fine). Even with well structured tex files from Wolfgang or Willi… I have razed the whole context installation and reinstalled the latest beta (ConTeXt ver: 2011.08.23 13:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.8.23 int: english/english). No joy at all…so anyone else using Lion? Thanks Ian On 12 Aug 2011, at 11:45, Ian Lawrence wrote:
That was very kind of you, and I'd like to buy you a beer, even though your example seemed to be much more complex than mine.
I assume your example ought to run 'out of the box' by just issuing the commend 'context relabs'.
So I did, and what I got for my trouble was the following pdf (OK, so there was more white space, but this was all the content).
There's not much to guide me in the log file ( the only not found was : files > readfile > asked name: 'loc', not found), but context (ConTeXt ver: 2011.08.04 00:42 MKIV fmt: 2011.8.12 int: english/english) seems not to have found the component text, or the graphic….
So far I have lost days to this…and I'm afraid I'm none the wiser now.
But I do appreciate the effort. Thanks.

I show you how it’s done without problems on a simple example.
All your files are in directory with the two subfolders “tex” for for subparts of your document and “graphic” for figures.
relabs.tex relabs-environment.tex tex/pickedup.tex graphics/pic.pdf
The content (i attached all files) of the tex-files is:
<file name="relabs.tex"> \startproduct relabs
\environment relabs-environment
\section{Graphic}
\placefigure[force] {A Graphic} {\externalfigure[pic]}
\section{File}
\component pickedup
\stopproduct </file>
<file name="relabs-environment.tex"> \startenvironment relabs-environment
\doifmodeelse{*product} {\setupexternalfigures[directory={graphics}]} {\setupexternalfigures[directory={../graphics}]}
\usepath[tex]
\stopenvironment </file>
<file name="pickedup.tex"> \startcomponent pickedup
\environment relabs-environment
\subsection{Text}
\input knuth
\subsection{Graphic}
\placefigure[force] {Another graphic} {\externalfigure[pic]}
\stopcomponent </file>
I used product and component because you can now set different figure paths for both files. When you process the product context should search in the “graphic” folder which is in the same folder but when you process the component context should first go into the parent folder and then look in “graphics”.
For the inclusion of files you can specify with “\usepath” where context should look and all you need as argument for \component is the name of the file.
