I narrowed it down to my editor, in fact. Strange! The command line call for TextMate ("mate") gives me the errors. I was compiling via the ConTeXt TextMate bundle and it must call "mate" for some reason at that point. pstopdf is off the hook ;) Dave On Aug. 27, 2007, at Aug 27, 3:54 AM, Mojca Miklavec wrote:

Greetings all,
In trying to run Mojca's latest Lilypond extension with MKIV (on an Intel Mac), I've been receiving the errors after pstopdf is run, which I've never seen before:
***
sysctlbyname_with_pid: sysctl failed:Operation not permitted is_pid_native: sysctlbyname_with_pid failed:Operation not permitted
***
According to google this seems to be mac-specific problem, and the first think that comes to my mind are problems with GhostScript during conversion. (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/ Conceptual/universal_binary/universal_binary.pdf)
How did you install GhostScript? Try "which gs", "gs --version" and "gs" alone to check some more details about the version.
It seems most likely that I installed GhostScript via Gerben's i- installer.
From apple's Terminal.app:
***

Hello,
I use fink's ghostscript. I'm almost sure that the problem lies in GS; that report cannot come from ConTeXt (unless pstopdf does some nasty things with eps documents which then confuse gs - it does delete some portions from ps files, but I doubt that that could be the problem). I have no idea whom to report anything. (Gerben said he had stopped with user support, and he probably cannot reproduce the error if it's really inconsistent behaviour - that it works one time and not the other time.)
Do you have fink already installed? (If yes, try to install ghostscript from there.)
I would suggest you to try running pstopdf on some random postscript document once you spot the error, and see what happens. Perhaps you can try running pstopdf on that document after an unsuccesfull ConTeXt run ...
Unless others have any better ideas ...
