Hello,

It is silly, but luatools urges me to have luac or texluac files, while the magazine tells only about luatex/texlua. It seems like luac not is the same as luatex, so I'm in despair because don't know where to get those additional files.

Hi, What I did on Ubuntu 7.04 (bash shell) was this downloaded justtex.zip and linuxtex.zip from pragma and unzipped them in my home directory. uncommented all the unset commands in setuptex downloaded luatex and the lua compiler i.e luac (found it via google) I think from www.luatex.org and from www.lua.org. I read on the mailing list that you don't need to download them as everything is self contained in the distro. set the unix variable TMP to /TMP (export TMP=/tmp) set the unix variable TEXMFCACHE to TMP (export TEXMFCACHE=/tmp) I think the last step was not needed because the luatools script will set it to $TMP and rename the lua scripts luatools.lua and mtxrun.lua (from the scripts/lua directory) to their extension less counterparts and moved them to the texmf-linux/bin directory. Also did a chmod 755 on them to make them executable. I also made a copy of luatex and named it texlua and put it in the texmf-linux/bin directory. Then after reading the MyWay on MKIV I did a texexec --make --all --luatex to generate the formats and ran succesfully the following tex script and produced a pdf file. % engine=luatex \starttext Hello from luatex \blank LUA \startlua a = 1.5 b = 1.8 c = a*b tex.print(c) \stoplua \stoptext Could be that I forgot some steps but this is what I remember. Hope it helps Kind regards Wim
