I use also Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 with TeXShop 3.06 and everything works perfectly, both mkii and mkiv from the Minimals (everything is also fine when invoking context from the command line in Terminal). However I never succeeded using mkiv from TeXLive? Maybe you could say how you typeset your files in ConTeXt?
I use TeXShop 2.43 (which, incidentally, tells me, when I check for updates, that it is the newest version available.) with an engine that reads: #!/bin/bash source /Users/robertblackstone/context-minimal-04-11/tex/setuptex context "$1" This works on another Mac under OSX 10.6. The log file when I try to typeset the .tex-file mentioned in the first sentence below is very brief: The argument "/Users/robertblackstone/Dropbox/C-tests/Initials/Initials-test1.tex" is not a valid TEXROOT path. (There is no file "/Users/robertblackstone/Dropbox/C-tests/Initials/Initials-test1.tex/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex") ...ne/context-minimal-04-11/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun:10769: cannot open /Users/robertblackstone/texmf/tex/symb-uni-zapf/: Permission denied I have no idea what the folder symb-uni-zapf does in my texmf/tex directory. Should I perhaps thrash it? (I cannot change its permissions.) And there is indeed no file: "/Users/robertblackstone/Dropbox/C-tests/Initials/Initials-Test-1.tex/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex" but why should there be one? Thanks also to Wolfgang Schuster and H. vd Meer for their quick replies that, though not offering an immediate solution, reassured me that I will eventually be able to use mkiv on this Mac.
