I'm getting the following error when running this command: luatools -- ini --verbose --compile cont-en 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. Mojca
