[NTG-context] Installing ConTeXt Minimals on a Mac ... and using bibtex
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
[3] which bibtex yields the path to the bibtex installed with the
minimals:
/path-to-my-user-account/Applications/context/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin/
bibtex
[4] When I open a new shell session, which bibtex points to /usr/
texbin/bibtex. In this new shell, bibtex finds the bib file.
It's a small thing, but if there's some other setting to make bibtex
work in the same shell session that context does, that would be nice.
Thanks!

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

You have two different installations of tex on your computer. By default
the old distribution is used. When you run setuptex (with appropriate
arguments) the new distribution is used first.

Perfect. Thank you!
