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.
I would say that the installation might be slightly broken, even if only a few variables are missing. How exactly did you install LuaTeX and latest ConTeXt?
Mojca, I followed the instructions here, where applicable for debian sid: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation Then the instruction in the README.MarkIV that appeared in the pckage documentation directory (appended to end of post). However I have been using context for years, and may well have messed something up! It seems to work OK with my "normal" documents. Except I notice \usemodule[gnuplot] does not work. John
Setting TEXMF was missing from the instructions in debian...
This should not happen, but once you answer the question about how you have installed it, it might become clearer.
Some time ago there was some problem on debian since Hans's lua scripts were unable to parse TEXMFCNF (texmf.cnf) files properly, but this might have been resolved in the meantime.
============================================================ README.luatex ============= Mark IV is the name of the LuaTeX-aware part of ConTeXt; that is, when you use ConTeXt over the LuaTeX engine instead of PDFTeX or XeTeX. You run it with texexec --lua. Currently the integration of Mark IV into Debian is not completely done, especially because the details are currently worked out (see the dev-context mailing list). If you want to start using Mark IV the following the following few points should get you started: 1) Right versions: luatex >= 0.20.2 context >= 2007.12.20 2) environment variables and luatex-cache Mark IV ships its own implementation of file searching and doesn't use the ls-R databases, but luatex-cache. You have to tell luatools where to find texmf.cnf, and then generate the cache: export TEXMFCNF=/usr/share/texmf/web2c luatools --generate --verbose This will generate the luatex-cache in $HOME. If you want to put it somewhere else set (and export) the TEXMFCACHE variable (like export TEXMFCACHE=/tmp) 3) Generate a Mark IV format This is not integrated into the usual format building process, and probably will need some time to be worked out completely as the current fmtutil cannot cope with Mark IV formats. Call luatools --ini --compile cont-en 4) Now you can try some simple document like (thanks to Arthur Reutenauer) \starttext \ctxlua{a = 1.5 ; b = 1.8 ; c = a*b ; tex.print(c) ;} or the equivalent: \startlua a = 1.5 b = 1.8 c = a*b tex.print(c) \stoplua You can also do more elaborate calculations with the lua math library: \ctxlua{tex.print("$\string\\sqrt{2} = " .. math.sqrt(2) .. "$")} \stoptext and run it with texexec --lua filename.tex -- John Devereux
