Re: [NTG-context] showcase on mac?
I had the same problem with Safari. I am not a fan of Adobe installations and all the extra stuff that goes on with them, but installing Reader did fix it. Stan .

Any suggestions on what is wrong?
I get the same error using TL2008 on linux, so it looks like a bug in
context. All is not lost, however, as your file does work using MKiV
with the context minimal distro:
$ context t

mkiv lua stats : runtime - 8.756 seconds, 3

So the solution lies somewhere between 2008.05 MkII and 2008.08 MkIV.
Simpler documents do work using 2008.05 MkII in TL2008, but if you are
starting out you may do better to focus on MkIV.
