[NTG-context] Leopard and ConTeXt
Hi MacUsers out there, until yesterday I worked with 10.4 and a recent context: no problem (only mkII). Today I finally set up a new machine with 10.5. and MacTeX, run ctxtools --updatecontext. Running a context-file now gives me the right context-version but ends up with: "TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=5000]" Well, I remember this was something about texmf.cnf (or context.cnf?). So I changed the value to 1, remade the format but still the echo mentions 5000. Some known problem with Leopard and ConTeXt? Maybe PATH stuff? =o( Please help!!!

What does kpsewhich texmf.cnf return?

I have this in my texmf.cnf: save_size = 5000% for saving values outside current group and luatex runs finde, so I suspect something is wrong with your file.

But then, as Thomas said, there's probably something special in your ConTeXt file (I always had save_size = 5000 and never had any problem with it). For this purpose, it might be sensible to modify TeXLive / MacTeX's texmf.cnf (this is generally frowned upon, but, well it is your own installation).

Before modifying that file I just wanted to make sure that it's not a leopard/path thing I missed: OK, I did it. Now it works fine again. Thank you!
