Help:Your luatex binary is way too old
I just tried to install context minimals on Windows. I have ruby and lua installed. I chose the command line installation(done today). Trying to generate a bare minimum(Hello World) pdf, I encounter the following error. I do not use Windows much so it may be my ignorance, what am I doing wrong? --------- LuaTools | merging library c:/contextminimal/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/ luat-cnf.lua LuaTools | saving merge from cont-en.lua LuaTools | using compiled initialization file: cont-en.luc LuaTools | using lua initialization file: cont-en.luc LuaTools | running command: luatex --ini --lua="cont-en.luc" "c:/contextminimal/ tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex" \dump This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.6-2009081408 (Web2C 2009) (INITEX) \write18 enabled.

!!!!: Your luatex binary is way too old, you need at least version 0.42.
Does this happen during update (first-update.bat) or during format generation? If it happens during format generation it could be due to "chicken-and-egg problem" (luatex cannot update itself). There is texlua.exe in bin/ and luatex.exe in tex/texmf-mswin/bin. Can you try to run both separately (luatex --version and texlua --version) and check their versions? One possibility to resolve the problem is to fetch a fresh copy of http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip and overwrite the old "bin" folder, or just replace http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/mswin/bin/luatex.dll.

No, not that I can notice. (first-setup.bat and context --generate, context --make don't show any errors.)

It's not about overwritting luatex.exe, but luatex.dll.

The weird thing is that http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/luatex/mswin/bin/ shows the date of luatex.dll to be 14th August (I cannot try right now what version that is, but it cannot be too old). Mojca

It's not about overwritting luatex.exe, but luatex.dll.
I know, I meant overwriting both the files and executing texlua.exe ( Sorry I was a bit ambiguous)

The weird thing is that http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/luatex/mswin/bin/ shows the date of luatex.dll to be 14th August (I cannot try right now what version that is, but it cannot be too old).
If it helps, I tried the GUI installer with the stable branch first. Got the too old binary error and re-ran the GUI installer with the beta branch. But it made no difference so started afresh(deleted contextminimals folder, and used the context-setup-mswin.ziphttp://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip+ first-setup.bat. Thanks for the quick response. I hope you will check it when possible.

for some time the minimals have too old versions; can it be that akira ships the tex live release and has the latest luatex in another place?
Oh, I remember now ... Akira's site says: luatex-w32.tar.bz2 LuaTeX (beta-0.40.6) -- available after 2009/08/14 JST (I knew about it and forgot to check again; I blindly assumed that the "stable" version on his server was OK. It probably worked in the first few days as I replaced "stable" with "dev", but apparently I replaced it back to stable after a while without checking.) You may try to update again. Mojca

that's a bug in the binary ... the code is already fixed so you can expect an update of the binary any time 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
