Hi,
does anyone here has MacTeX 2011 installed and could help Joseph?

This is a known problem in the sense that it happens pretty often,
but it is unclear what exactly goes wrong. MacTeX should usually work
by default.
More information is needed, in particular contents of
/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmfcnf.lua

Hello Mojca,
I did wonder if this was known: I've noticed that ConTeXt seems to be
'on and off' at least on my Mac (I've done less testing on Windows).
My /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmfcnf.lua shows:
-- (Public domain.)
-- This texmfcnf.lua file should exist only if you have personal changes
-- from the distributed file; for example, if TEXMFVAR was changed in

return { TEXMFCACHE = '~/Library/texlive/2011/texmf-var' }

Were you, by any chance, an early adopter who didn't install the new
version of MacPorts once it was officially released?
Please replace the contents of that file with:
return {
content = {
variables = {
TEXMFHOME = ~/Library/texmf,
TEXMFVAR = ~/Library/texlive/2011/texmf-var,
TEXMFCONFIG = ~/Library/texlive/2011/texmf-config,
},
},
}
or reinstall MacTeX.

Hello Mojca,
I did indeed install MacTeX 'early' (basically as soon as it became
available for testing). I'm surprised sudo tlmgr install --reinstall
context metapost did not sort this one out.
Anyway, that sorts the issue: thanks very much for the very rapid reply.

We updated that file during testing phase. In the same spirit: you probably don't have the bleeding edge TLU unless you updated it manually and tlmgr won't really help you with that. Even more important might be the version of TeX Dist Preference Pane. Since you seem to have posted your original question to another mailing list, can you please at least leave a reply that the issue was solved (and how you solved it)?
