Apologies. I realised late last night that I had forgotten to update the
paths zint in my shell and after doing that this morning all now works.
Apologies again.
Thanks for the help.

Hi all,
I've updated the zint barcode generator on my mac mini to 2.12.0 and now no
barcode is produced. I have this vague recollection that it is only the 2.10.0
version of zint which works in ConTeXt. If I am correct, is ConTeXt likely to
be updated so that 2.12.0 works? I originally installed zint with Homebrew.
There is a very complicated thread on stackoverflow on how to downgrade to
previous versions of a formula in homebrew, but it is far too complicated for
my wee brain.
zint 2.12.0 works for me on an x64 Mac mini using ConTeXt ver: 2023.08.10 02:59
Following the instructions here <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Barcodes>
1) I had to create the path $TEXROOT/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint
2) I symbolic linked directly to the homebrew created libzint library
$ cd $TEXROOT/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint
$ ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/zint/2.12.0/lib/libzint.dylib libzint.so
3) Then
$ cd ~
$ mtxrun --generate
4) and the sample file
\usemodule[zint]
\starttext
\barcode[alternative=isbnx, text=9783865419026, width=4cm]
\stoptext
produced a barcode.
