Yes, I ought to have said that first!!

Now here is what I tried just now:

1/ reinstall lua by hand 2/ remove everything in /usr/local context, and unzip again justtex and linuxtex 3/ rename /usr/local/texlive to some name unknown from my path (surely wasn't necessary, but let's try anything...) 4/ edit setuptex and defined $TMP and $TEXMFCACHE there 5/ . setuptex 6/ texexec --make --all --pdftex 7 /texexec --make --all --xetex 8/ texexec --make --all --luatex 9/ luatools --generate 10/ luatools --ini --compile --verbose cont-en

And again, context complains the same way:

TeXExec | unable to fix backend map path TeXExec | running: luatools --fmt=cont-en test.tex

LuaTools | using format name /tmp/luatex-cache/context/formats/cont-en.fmt LuaTools | no luc/lua with name /tmp/luatex-cache/context/formats/cont-en LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.12 seconds TeXUtil | unable to locate test.tui

actually then, even pdftex is broken!

I'm certainly missing something obvious? hmm maybe mktexlsr 5a/ mktexlsr ; luatools --generate 6/ texmfstart texexec --make --all --pdftex 7/ texmfstart texexec --make --all --luatoolss -- luigi

Hm, no more joy here :-( thx anyway -- jean ok, with next release (coming soon, I believe) I will carefully write down all steps. If you want to make a last try give a look at http://luatex.bluwiki.com/go/User:Luigi.scarso

last try following the wiki; I get a lot of messages like this:

Missing script file sh: luac: command not found LuaTools | compiling files to /5662e38911d8bbd6bbfe8f2fa42911c4.tmc LuaTools | compiling failed for files, deleting file /5662e38911d8bbd6bbfe8f2fa42911c4.tmc

(right now I still have the standard luatex)

AFAIU, this is ok. luac is a file for compiling lua code into byte code so that it runs faster. You need to install lua to get luac. If you do not have luac, the program will run slightly slower, but other than that, everything will be fine. Aditya
