Hi, I guess this is really a basic question: I tried to compile luatex under OSX, this works, but I get the following error: ***************************************************************** * Error: The main texmf tree was not found. * * Use the --datadir option to specify its parent directory. * * If you do not have the files, you should be able to them from * * the same place you got these sources from, or from one of the * * CTAN hosts. * ***************************************************************** Regardless of this message, it still compiles. However, when I try to typeset the manual, I get the following fatal error: I can't find the format file `/Users/simi/Desktop/luatex- snapshot-20070622/build/texk/web2c/luatex.fmt'! luatex.fmt is nowhere on my system. Should this be part of the snapshot or is this something I should build myself? TIA simon -- Dr. des.
