I have the minimals installed in ~/Applications/context/

Context works great. However, I'm having trouble with bibtex.

[1] I export the following variables before using context.

. ~/Applications/context/tex/setuptex ~/Applications/context/tex export TEXMFHOME='$HOME/Library/texmf' export TEXMF='{$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!! $TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}';

(I added export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx- intel/ bin:$PATH but that didn't seem to make a difference in a couple of quick trials)

[2] The problem is that the minimal's bibtex can't find the bib file that I have stored in ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib/

It reports: "I couldn't open database file bib-name.bib" and "I found no database files---while reading file file-name.aux"

You need to add ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib to the variable BIBINPUTS, either in texmf.cnf or in your .bashrc/calling script.

Perfect. Thank you! Michael
