Re: [NTG-context] gwTeX: FatalError : Your format does not match the base files!
Unless you have a good reason for keeping it, try removing the web2c directory from your /Users/matthias/Library/texmf/ and then rebuilding the format files. There has been much on the list about what people want in their ~/ texmf. Still, I find it much simpler to use it only for stuff that is mine and not part of the ConTeXT distribution.

Thanks for the detailed instructions. After step 4, I get the log file below - I then proceeded with step 5 an 6. Step 6 gave me an error msg saying the file exists, so I proceeded, and now it seems I am having a working ConTeXt installation. Thanks again!
