Thank you again Aditya and Khaled for getting ConTeXt working here. One more question for the list: Under MacTex or TexLive, not sure which one, on my 10.4.11 system, my setup and env* files were located in ~/Library/texmf/tex/context/user/ I rsynced that dir to ~/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/user and ConTeXt is not finding them. Could someone please where I should put these files so context will find them? Thanks again, Paul

Did you run mktexlsr (for MkII) or luatools --generate (for MkIV)? In general, it is not a good idea to place your files in texmf-context tree. They will get deleted when you update context-minimals. You can create a folder ~/context/tex/texmf-local and store your own files in a tex/context/<anything> subdirectory there. Aditya

Thank you, after running luatools --generate, the files are found. The command "context" (i.e. MkIV) is now finding errors with my setup files which were created, and have always been used, under MkII - I get "! Undefined control sequence" at \definelogo plus other errors. After mktexlsr, MkII works as expected. Is there a reference for commands/definitions which work in MkII but not in MkIV? Thanks again for your help, Paul

I'm not trying to answer your question, but that is a bad idea since your files will get overwritten the first time when you synchronize with --delete (which might even be the default switch). You should better put your files to ~/context/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/user The texmf.cnf files now includes TEXMFHOME = $HOME/texmf but maybe we could add $HOME/Library/texmf to the list as well. Any objections to that? (I just need to figure out how to properly nest the braces.) Mojca

otr texmf-project if it's a project tree

only mac i assume i wonder what happens if someone has another tex installed then so maybe make it an option somehow .. of just considere it not-done for the minimals Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

True, but it should be harmless if the folder doesn't exist on some other OS.

TeX is supposed to be installed somewhere else (by default), not in $HOME/texmf. People who do have those folders present usually know what they are doing. Not all of them, but some random newbie would not create a folder there.
so maybe make it an option somehow .. of just considere it not-done for the minimals
There have been several complaints about missing TEXMFHOME and no complaints about its presence since the time when we have added it (must be a few months at least). Mojca
