Thanks Arthur so now my XeConTeXt.engine file contains: #!/bin/tcsh set path= ($path /usr/texbin) texexec --xtx "$1" (including a blank line) It works Best -a- On 10 Sep 2007, at 17:49, Arthur Reutenauer wrote:

Any hints?

Make sure the xetex binary is indeed in /usr/local/texlive/2007/ bin/i386-darwin or in /usr/texbin, and the XeConTeXt.engine is an executable file (type "chmod 755 ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/XeConTeXt.engine" in Terminal.app) You can also remove the stand-alone slash after "set path=" in XeConTeXt.engine (it tells tcsh to add the root directory to the list of directories where executable files are looked for, and that's really both useless and dangerous).

You should surround the PATH line with double quotes ("), not simple ones (').

Ok, works as an alias from terminal. BTW a texetex command already exists, so I used xecontext But Hraban, how do I then set up TeXShop? Thanks -a-

Sorry, I'm used to write Python (where " or ' doesn't matter)

(me too :) )

Does that work? (If I ever use TeXshop, then I run texexec in a separate Terminal...)

Hmm, no, (AFA I can say) Thanks Best -a- PS: I wikified some of the previous xetex infos.

The information that \externalfigure should be replaced by \XeTeXpicfile is misleading. It is a temporary solution for the bug (I didn't test recently, but I had serious prolems with inclusion of binary figures and newer PDF file versions), but not a general rule. The bug should be fixed if it still exists, rather than asking people to rewrite their sources to low-level commands.

I completely agree, but nobody replied to my post when I complained.

. So my temporary workaround was to save the photos again in some other program. But it should be fixed.)

Ok, but this is not a better solution. It's only cleaner from a ConTeXt point of view. So you do not modify the sources but because of the bug you modify 200 jpgs. In any case, as I have written, I had not output problems with \externalfigure, but the rli generation needed many texexec calls to be completed and was too slow (even if only for the first time). Instead, I had no luck at all with pdfs inclusion. So, my idea would be to clearly specify in the wiki entry that it's a momentary workaround. -a- -------------------------------------------------- Andrea Valle -------------------------------------------------- CIRMA - DAMS Università degli Studi di Torino --> http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ --> andrea.valle@unito.it -------------------------------------------------- I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault.
