Here's a start:
What's in your path? Typing set in the terminal window should tell you.
Second, did you add
source ~/path/to/context/tex/setuptex ~/path/to/context/tex
to your ~/.profile
You need to have the source work from when you log in, and that happens
in the .profile, not the .bashrc. T
Yep, it's looking for stuff in other places than you installed it.
You can confirm that by typing
which texexec
or
which context
and so forth.
On the Mac, /usr/texbin is a symbolic link that points to a directory
under /usr/local/texlive
What you need to do - and I have not installed minimal
Charles,
I ran the last command (for “typical”) but now, when I try to typeset
\starttext
Hello World!
\stoptext
it appears that there is a “context” folder missing in the minimals
that I downloaded. That is, I get
/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex: line 75: cd: /Applications/
ConTeXt
Open Applications/Utilities/Terminal from the finder
Type (or cut n paste from Mail/Entourage) and don't put a carriage
return between these lines (they are wrapped automatically)
chmod a+x
Users/alancbowen/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine
If that fails - and it should not - try:

The instructions themselves are clear but should perhaps be updated:
• the file originally downloaded is first-setup.sh not first-setup.tsh
• to execute this file run ./first-set
