This is a problem we discussed in Bohinj, and it's good that you remind us of its existence - we need to take a decision about this. The file which defines the texmf-paths for the minimals on Unixoid systems is ~/context/tex/setuptex. If you look into it, you'll see on l. 143 export HOMETEXMF=/nonexist Hans explained that he didn't want to have HOMETEXMF set on his machine. Unfortunately, many users will expect HOMETEXMF to work with the minimal installation. The normal place for it is ~/texmf (Alan, you should move it out of ~/Library). So what can we do? Hans, is there any workaround for you? Most users will be as baffled as Alan when the stuff they have installed in their personal trees isn't found. Personally, I have set up all my stuff in a personal .miniluatex file which I source whenever I want to run context, but I don't know how this would work with TeXShop. IMHO, the normal ~/texmf should be included out of the box. What do others think - Mojca? All best Thomas
