Further suggestions?

Try

$ env TEXMFCACHE=/Users/alama context dissertation

maybe that will help. (I am guessing right now, but I will install the texlive devel snapshot on a clean virtual machine on monday).

Same problem:

$ MTX_INPUT_TRACE=3 TEXMFCACHE=/Users/alama context dissertation ! using suffix based filetype: %s | lua ? blobpath asked: %s | context.lua ? filename: %s | context.lua - readable: %s | ./context.lua ! using suffix based filetype: %s | lua ? blobpath asked: %s | mtx-context.lua ? filename: %s | mtx-context.lua - readable: %s | ./mtx-context.lua ! using suffix based filetype: %s | lua ? blobpath asked: %s | mtx-contexts.lua ? filename: %s | mtx-contexts.lua - readable: %s | ./mtx-contexts.lua ! remembered: %s | mtx-context.lua MtxRun | unknown script: context

I'll take this to the tex-live list -- perhaps something is misconfigured in TL2008.

The latest tl2008 snapshot seems to solve the problem (though I'm not sure why). Sorry for complaining -- I realize that LuaTeX+MkIV (and these days TL2008) are moving targets, but one's patience sometimes runs thin. Thanks, Jesse -- Jesse Alama (alama@stanford.edu)
