Dear all, I've been trying to install the TeX minimals on a new Mac. While MK II works, not so MK IV. I get the error message MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Here is what I did: Downloaded TeXLive 2010 Then followed the instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/Mac_Installation I did this a few years back without a hitch, so I am wondering what is different now. In any case, in the above instructions, under Configuring ConTeXt, instep 4, the copies file has already the indicated changes in it. I used the same paths as indicated and ran luatools --generate as well as context --make Everything went ok without error messages. I then configured TeXShop as explained. As I said, MKII works fine but MKIV gives the error message. I searched the wiki for it and there seem to be some related reports, but I couldn't find a resolution. Any suggestions? If all fails I'll try to clone an older installation. Matthias

I know. I need TeXLive for non-ConTeXt reasons and thought I should mention it in case there are interferences. Matthias On May 17, 2011, at 11:45 AM, mathew wrote:

I don't think you need or want TeXLive if you're installing minimals.

Well, yes, there will be. I'm afraid I can't help further as I don't use the rest of TeX Live, as I only use ConTeXt Mk IV and TeXworks. mathew

Did you run this for TL ConTeXt or the minimals ConTeXt. From a terminal run source /path-to-context/tex/setuptex mtxrun --generate Then try compiling a test file from the terminal.
Any suggestions? If all fails I'll try to clone an older installation.
What does `which context` return? Aditya

/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/context Great! Thus the wiki info to create an executable file ConTeXt-MKIV.engine containing #!/bin/bash export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin:$PATH export TEXMFCACHE=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-cache context "$1" in ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines is slightly but catastrophically outdated. The file needs to read #!/bin/bash export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH export TEXMFCACHE=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-cache context "$1" With that, TeXShop works with MKIV. Thanks again ! Matthias
