Hello Hans,
Yes, the Linux install fails as well. I have just tried another. The
output of context --make is attached.
During the install the ascii *.lua files in the following directory --
initially from context-linux-64.zip-- are overwritten by what look
like binaries:
/path/to/lmtx/bin:
total used in directory 3444 available 236814588
drwx------ 2 rbm49 rbm49 4096 Mar 2 2019 .
drwx------ 4 rbm49 rbm49 4096 Dec 9 06:59 ..
-rw------- 1 rbm49 rbm49 16432 Dec 9 06:59 mtx-install.lua
-rwx------ 1 rbm49 rbm49 2786296 Dec 9 06:59 mtxrun
-rw------- 1 rbm49 rbm49 696620 Dec 9 06:59 mtxrun.lua
And at the end of the install the following two files also seem to be
binaries (see "no valid format" message in attached log):
/path/to/lmtx/tex/texmf/web2c:
total used in directory 28 available 236977668
drwx------ 2 rbm49 rbm49 4096 Dec 9 06:58 .
drwx------ 6 rbm49 rbm49 4096 Dec 9 06:58 ..
-rw------- 1 rbm49 rbm49 7500 Dec 9 06:58 texmf.cnf
-rw------- 1 rbm49 rbm49 8214 Dec 9 06:58 texmfcnf.lua
Best, Richard

Hello Otared,
"... get overwritten and are modified for some unknown reasons: in particular the two lua files become complete garbage…"
I found the same today under Gentoo Linux, and the same for the lua files under (can't check which as I've deleted the install):
~/lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin so linux install fails too?
