I'm getting the following error when running this command: luatools --

Hi, I am getting a similar error on debian unstable.
Both of you, can you check that
luatools luat-env.lua
I just get a blank line printed. And I get the same if I feed it the name
of a random, non-existent file. Which is not encouraging...
...
finds the file? If not, try running luatools --generate
This produces:
LuaTools | skipping /texmf-local/web2c/texmf.cnf
  LuaTools | skipping /texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
  LuaTools | 
  LuaTools | runtime: 0.003 seconds
aha, so how about setting the env variables TEXMFCNF and TEXMF
Hans
aha indeed!

Setting TEXMF was missing from the instructions in debian... Or perhaps I
messed up my configuration in the past.

  luatools --ini --compile cont-en

works now.

I will start playing with it.

A quick try of the example snippet did not work (see dump at end of
message) but I will look into it more and try Mojcas advice re
ctxtools --update.

Thanks.
