Why the second argument? (It's optional, but wrong in this case.)

The second one.
I should add that when my .bash_profile has . /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/ I cannot compile any file because of the mismatch between format and base files.
This is because you need to regenerate the formats (texexec --make --all). Please send the log if this fails to help.
If I change my .bash_profile to . /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin as suggested in
No, that's not been suggested. You may not use the second argument that way. If you read carefully again you'll see that there are **two different recipes**. You need to use just one of them.
When you want to use context, you need to initialize the tree by typing:
[first recipe]
. /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex in your shell or add
[second recipe]
"/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin" to PATH variable if you want to set it permanently. This can usually be done in .bashrc, .bash_profile (or whatever file is used to initialize your shell).
I get the error message The argument "/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin" is not a valid TEXROOT path. (There is no file "/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex")
Yes, that makes sense. Since /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin is NOT the root of distribution. That's just the PATH to your binaries. Just go with the first approach (the one that reports mismatching formats at the moment), run texexec --make --all and send the log if it fails to work. Mojca
Thanks, Mojca. With .bash_profile now reading . /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex, I ran texexec --make --all successfully. But I still could not process a .tex file: the error message was This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (Web2C 2009) \write18 enabled.

Hi Alan, You have to add a ".engine" file to ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines and open again TeXShop. For instance I have a file called "mkii.engine" containing these lines (between %%%begin and %%%end of course!): %%% begin #!/bin/bash source /Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/setuptex texexec "$1" %%%end and then in TeXShop by default the engine is chosen to be mkii. It is important to know that this file must have the "x" bit as its rights. In your case this "mkii.engine" file should contain #!/bin/bash source /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex texexec "$1" Don't forget to chmod +x. Good luck! Best regards: OK
Otared, This works perfectly. In all the changes to ConTeXt, I had neglected to update my TeXShop settings. Many thanks for your help (and patience). Alan On Dec 2, 2009, at 12;24,37 , Otared Kavian wrote:

This can usually be done in .bashrc, ..bash_profile (or whatever file is used to initialize your shell).

Hi Alan, If you are running Mac OS X 10.6.1 or later, the right folder (or directory) is ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin In any case you can test this just by changing the name of either of the folders and try to typeset a file (you can change the name of the folder for example in the Finder). Do you use TeXShop or any other GUI application? A last point: at the beginning of the ConTeXt minimals, at one point I installed the minimals in the /Application/ folder (directory) but had constantly problems due to the rights of writing and executing, I think. Now I have the Minimals in another place and everything works fine. Good luck! Best regards: OK

Hi Alan, It doesn't matter if first-setup.sh, or setuptex, whichever, installs two directories /tex/texmf-osx-64/bin and /tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin in the folder where you have first-setup.sh. As far as I am concerned, running Mac OS X 10.6.2, I even removed manually the folder /tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin, and everything works fine. Something which seems strange to me is the line you have in your .bash_profile which has: . /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/ this seems unorthodox… In any case this /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/ should not be there and you should remove it. In order to locate the problem, you may remove this line and then in a Terminal window issue the command: source /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex (Using source is better than the"." in my humble opinion). Next issue the command which context in order to see what binary context is going to be executed when you typeset a file. Finally, assuming that you have the right context binary, typeset a test file, named for instance myfile.tex, by issuing the command: context myfile.tex in the directory where myfile.tex is present. Good luck: OK

texmf-osx-intel should not be installed at all. What happens if you delete it? Does it appear again? Also try to remove the file status-of-update.lua as Hans suggested.

If sysctl -n hw.cpu64bit_capable returns you 1 then it's quite possible that you are still using the old version of first-setup.sh.

I have not installed TeXLive.
Sorry, I was misinterpreting the "pdfTeX 1.40" string and though it was reading "LuaTeX beta-0.40". Mojca

Thanks, Peter. I will assume for the moment that the question of my profile entry is separable from the problem in getting a file to compile. (The problem persists no matter what line I have in .bash-profile.) Alan On Dec 1, 2009, at 15;28,29 , Peter Münster wrote:
