This is a problem we discussed in Bohinj, and it's good that you remind us of its existence - we need to take a decision about this. The file which defines the texmf-paths for the minimals on Unixoid systems is ~/context/tex/setuptex. If you look into it, you'll see on l. 143
export HOMETEXMF=/nonexist
Hans explained that he didn't want to have HOMETEXMF set on his machine. Unfortunately, many users will expect HOMETEXMF to work with the minimal installation. The normal place for it is ~/texmf (Alan, you should move it out of ~/Library). So what can we do? Hans, is there any workaround for you? Most users will be as baffled as Alan when the stuff they have installed in their personal trees isn't found. Personally, I have set up all my stuff in a personal .miniluatex file which I source whenever I want to run context, but I don't know how this would work with TeXShop. IMHO, the normal ~/texmf should be included out of the box. What do others think - Mojca?
hm, needs thinking (also because we then need to cache the home path) i have no time now to test this Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
