Hi all, maybe more particularly Mojca,

I noticed that in the latest release of the minimals (ConTeXt version 2009.11.24 10:13) something is broken: neither mkii nor mkiv work (actually this happened also with the release of Friday November 20, then it was solved with November 23 release and again it appeared today…).

May I ask you to fetch the new version of first-setup.sh, run it and retry?

You are on Snow Leopard. Yes, it's expected to break (sorry) because
so many people have been complaining that they want 64-bit binaries
(and I could have written a visible warning to the mailing list which
I forgot to do). I hoped for the fact that the number of SL users is
small enough, so that they would be willing to rerun first-setup and
fetch the 64-bit binaries.

I decided to patch to detect SL, then changed my mind, and then
changed my mind again after Hans figured out that he's not able to
boot with 64-bit kernel and requested to support 64-bit platforms
automatically.

If you would boot into 64-bit mode (try to boot by holding down keys 4
and 6), it would not work at all without replacing the version of
first-setup.sh that you currently use.

Sure, we should provide fat binaries, but ... two years ago I was
still working on 56k connection during weekends (if anyone wants usb
modem, let me know :). The distribution arose from my desire for not
having to fetch Hans' one-line patches in 4MB zips several times per
day. Fat binaries would mean some 60 MB of extra space (and I consider
that a waste of resources).

I could solve the problem by replacing the setuptex files coming with the latest release by those of ConTeXt version 2009.11.13 12:45: now I can typeset my files even with Math-Times and mkiv… (Working on a macBook Pro and Mac OS X 10.6.2).

What changes do you have in mind?

Has anyone else noticed this problem?

Yes, me, sorry.

Mojca
