This has nothing to do with Hans' beta. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/48892 but I'm clueless. The binaries have been compiled on Debian Etch. Does pdfTeX work on your machine?

Hi Mojca,
I usually run a luatex binary I have compiled myself, but when I simply tried to run the script to update the minimals, I got the same error as Luigi, on Debian lenny. Etch is really dated now, any chance to update?
To be honest, it was the other way around: I was trying hard to find a chance to compile on *as old machine as possible*. Compiling on cutting-edge linux would be much more trivial than compiling on Debian Etch, but then Luigi comes and starts complaining that the binaries compiled on Taco's server (that runs a reasonably new linux) don't work on his distribution.
on one of my server -- my laptop is ok . It's a bit messy situation , I understand.
Since Taco promissed to change this library dependency this week, I would prefer to wait on his patch.
me too -- I'm sure that this will disappear .
On the other hand, since luatex is already almost-broken anyway,
???
it might make less demage if we make it work on recent distributions than if we make it work on older distributions. I leave that decision to Taco.
I vote for recent distro (just my one cent ) -- luigi
