[NTG-context] How to run context under mac os x - was(is): beginner's hazzles with backgrounds and definitions.

[Matthias Weber]

Hello again, this is presumably only for the the Mac people on the list.

Below is what I tried to update Gerden's i-installed teTex with the most
recent  context:

(I remove all directories that occur in the context distribution, and
then copy them. There is most likely a one liner for all of this in some
shell, but my unix knowledge is from days when nobody new how to
spell copyright)

(everything w/ sudo)

rm -R /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/context
cp -R /cont-tmf\ Folder/context /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex
rm -R /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/context

(Thanks to Hans once more for pointing out politely that I had no clue
that the last two lines are important).


They produce reasonable output that makes me believe that they are working with the
TeX installation I updated and not the other one (fink). It would be nice to know how to
modify that one, too, but before I will try that: It still doesn't work. I get the same 
error message as before (see below), indicating that I have messed up the TeX installation.
Is it maybe necessary to tell either of the last two commands where the files
are it should update?
