I just downloaded the TeXLive 2008 developer snapshot and wanted to try out LuaTeX. Unfortunately, I can't even get started:
$ context dissertation.tex
MtxRun | unknown script: context
I ran luatools --generate before doing this. What's odd is that mtx-context can be found:
$ luatools mtx-context.lua
We've had this before. IIRC, the problem is that mtxrun looks for the script using a different 'file type' from luatools. It probably means you will have to adjust a value in texmf.cnf.
I have:
LUAINPUTS=.;$TEXMF/tex/{context,plain/base,generic}//:$TEXMF/scripts/context/lua TEXMFSCRIPTS=.;$TEXMF/tex/{context,plain/base,generic,}//;$TEXMF/scripts/context//
and I strongly suspect both are needed. After adjusting the value(s), you will have to rerun luatools --generate.
I modified texmf.cnf to give these variables those values, but I still get the same error, even after luatools --generate. Further suggestions? By the way, I initially modified the "local" texmf.cnf file texlive/2008/texmf.cnf rather than the "gloal" configuration file texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf because the former file says that it should contain changes to the latter: <---snip---> % If you want to configure something to a value different then the one % in texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, just put the changed value here. <---snip---> But I noticed that when I ran luatools --generate, it apparently ignored this "local" texmf.cnf file; it read only the "global" texmf.cnf file. I inferred that from the output: LuaTools | error unable to locate texmfcnf.lua LuaTools | loading /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf LuaTools | preparing configuration for /Users/alama/luatex-cache/context/79597d0cc507e8e510dd517f8850b2ca/trees/ae181585be5454a57ae25fb95c3ccbef.tma LuaTools | saving configuration in /Users/alama/luatex-cache/context/79597d0cc507e8e510dd517f8850b2ca/trees/ae181585be5454a57ae25fb95c3ccbef.tma LuaTools | compiling configuration to /Users/alama/luatex-cache/context/79597d0cc507e8e510dd517f8850b2ca/trees/ae181585be5454a57ae25fb95c3ccbef.tmc ...etc. Thus I modified the "global" configuration file instead. By the way, the variables LUAINPUTS and TEXMFSCRIPTS already had values: LUAINPUTS = .;$TEXMF/scripts/{$progname,$engine,}/lua//;$TEXINPUTS TEXMFSCRIPTS = $TEXMF/scripts/{$engine,$progname,}// But I overwrote those to give them the values you recommended, to no avail, unfortunately.
