Hello,
While doing
context foo
I do get

What should I do to get beyond that error message?
I'm using Debian on an AMD64, context package is version 2009.11.26-2
way too old .. luatex as well as context moved on (and luatools in no longer used)
FWIW, I get the same error message on my TL2010 installation. $luatex --version This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.67.0-2011042320 (rev 4192) $context --version MTXrun | main context file: /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex MTXrun | current version: 2010.05.24 13:05 $context --make MTXrun | running command: luatools --make --compile cont-en .... LuaTools | using compiled initialization file: cont-en.luc LuaTools | using lua initialization file: cont-en.luc /usr/bin/luatools:2734: bad argument #1 to '(for generator)' (directory metatable expected, got nil) ... I am pretty sure that ConTeXt in TL2010 was working at some stage and failed after I updated. I normally just use the minimals, so I never bothered to dig into this. Aditya
