Hi! You need to set the executable bit of the file ConTeXt-MKIV.engine. In Terminal try: cd Users/Name/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ and then chmod +x ConTeXt-MKIV.engine which will allow you to execute the file. See http://www.ss64.com/bash/chmod.html for an overview of chmod if you wish to refine this. Alan On Mar 17, 2009, at 20;33,56 , Curious Learn wrote:

Hello,

I installed the stable version of Context Minimals and then followed the instructions given on the Context Minimals/Mac Installation page. When I choose ConTeXt-MKIV as my engine and try to typeset the document I get the following error.

Users/Name/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXt-MKIV.engine does not have the executable bit set.

This is when only "pdftex" is selected in the dropdown "Typeset" menu.

It is true that the instructions on Context Minimals/Mac Installation page say that "Context" should also be selected in this dropdown "Typeset" menu. But if I try to do that, the engine automatically switches to "Context" that existed in the Engines menu, before I installed Minimals and before I added Context-MKII and ConTeXt-MKIV engines. This "ConTeXt engine is MKII.

Can someone please help with this?

Thanks.
