There is a file "source/local/Icon?" (dblquotes excluded) that must be the culprit. Its just a file entry, no contents. But as an artifact of the MaOSX system it cannot be ignored (and I'd like not to throw them all away, risking they will appear again unnoticed). I would be glad if it could be dealt with. As can be seen, after "['Icon" a newline follows in the tma entry and I am fairly sure that this will trigger the error.
indeed, looms like there is a newline in the filename
Furthermore I draw attention to the ".DS_Store" file, which is a MacOSX specific file that can be safely ignored.
so we need a list of foles that can be ignored

Can this be caused by the Icon business? Does it cause problems?
indeed
By the way. In the TEXMFCACHE-directory it seems that each time I do "luatools --generate" a new directory with a name like "b9039f6e25c37964f568cecc8a8f763d" is generated. What do I do with them? Keep only the most recent and throw the rest away? Aren't older ones not cleaned out automatically? Also there are various tma and tmc files in a tree directory. That ok?
there should be only one, "mtxrun --script cache --purge" will remove tma's Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
