there will be a luajittex 0.78.1 soon (there is already a binary for windows, as Akira always provides the latest greatest)
(and as usual the jit version is some 20% faster due to the faster Lua vm)
Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
I have just updated the ConTeXt Suite (for Linux) and luajittex seems to be broken.
Which one? 32-bit or 64-bit linux (linux or linux-64)? I failed to automatically compile 32-bit binaries (and I would have to remember how to switch the compiler and simply didn't care enough at the time to take the effort + we have problems with weirdly misbehaving subversion without proper understanding what could go wrong, so some binary builders weren't even able to submit their binaries). If that fails it might be due to version mismatch which means that I need to build the binary first. 64-bit binaries claim to be using beta-0.78.1. If that one fails that you might need to tell what exactly goes wrong so that others can help you. Mojca PS: The list of platforms with too old LuaTeX includes PowerPC & armel linux + all flavours of (k)freebsd. The only platforms with the latest luajittex seem to be x86_64-linux and x86_64-darwin. It might be that some binary builders weren't even aware of the update.
