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.
ctxtools --update won't help you as you have some missing fonts (msam7.tfm).
http://packages.debian.org/etch/all/texlive-base/filelist claims that
the file should be present in texlive-base in Debian, so it's a bit
confusing.

Hi Mojca,

There is a file here:

  /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/tfm/public/ams/msam7.tfm

But I don't know what else is needed.
