Dear,

long time since I have posted to the list but still a dedicated ConTeXt

Now, I’ve upgraded to Mavericks. No way to use ConTeXt.
I’ve also installed texlive 2013 and I installed the available updates.
But still my ConTeXt is broken (I’m typesetting from TeXShop via GUI menu).
I always get this:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in
`require': /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/base/switch.rb:501:
invalid multibyte escape: /\xFF/ (SyntaxError)
from
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
from
/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:11:in
`<main>’

I can understand it has something to do with ruby but nothing else.

I can't test it as my macbook is considered to be too old to update the OS (not sure why as its some 5-6 years old) and I'm not going to buy a another mac for just testing tex. So, it's up to others to look into it.
