However, my texmf.cnf has: pool_size = 1250000 (standard texlive2007 values)

What is wrong? Please, have a look at can't find file `context.tex' http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/026438.html

That seems another error to me. I do not see tex complaining of not finding context.tex as in the above mentioned problem.

In short: don't mix texlive with mkiv; use justtex.zip and linuxtex.zip

Why is this? Cannot mkiv and texlive coexist in the same tree? I certainly hope that is not true, it would certainly make me refrain from using mkiv!

i see no real problem why they cannot coexist if only because luatex will end up in tex live sooner or later it't just that the current tex live does not ship with all the fonts that we want to use in luatex also, mkiv is not depending on anything in tex live, it uses files in the base context tex path plus a few scripts (luatools and mtxrun) the problems that you run into have to do with the fact that mkiv needs a cache path for saving info (e.g. about fonts) and setting this up right needs some experimentation and feedback from users; each distribution and tex system is different it seems Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
