OK, the source ~/path/to/context/tex/setuptex ~/path/to/context/tex should be the path to YOUR context minimals (the /path/to/blablabla is commonly understood among UNIX users as meaning "substitute the path to my thingy here." I know where your TeXshop files are (under your Library dir tree) but I don't know where the ConTeXt minimals were installed on your machine. I have not installed minimals because the TeXLive distribution with MacTeX has served me satisfactorily to date. Please locate the folders context/tex/setuptex and context/tex in the place where the minimals install put them. Are they under your home dir or are they under /usr/local? Figure out the FULL pathname from root, e.g., /usr/local/context/tex/setuptex or whatever it is. Put those full pathnames into the source line. Now, your .profile file goes in your home dir, /Users/alancbowen. The Bourne-again shell, bash, must find that file in your home dir when you login. /Users/alancbowen is how the UNIX side of OS X sees you, not Macintosh HD/Users/alancbowen/Library. That's how Aqua things see you. They both work, but UNIX creates a virtual environment off of a root /, that in turn has Mac dirs like Applications, Users, and so on. /Users on the Mac corresponds to /home on other Unix-like systems. And this brings up a good point. With UNIX pathnames, you have two alternatives for spaces in pathnames, e.g., from your home dir: "~/The Directory/and/its leaves" ~/The\ Directory/and/its\ leaves HTH Charles > But, sad to say, I get the same error when I try to typeset my “Hello > World!” file using the™ minimals: > > /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex: line 75: cd: /Applications/ > ConTeXtMinimals/context: No such file or directory > The argument "" is not a valid TEXROOT path. > There is no file "/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex" > provide a proper tex root (like '. setuptex /something/tex') > > Alan > > On Aug 23, 2008, at 21;04,37 , Charles P.
