Following the article "The luafication of TeX and Context" in the recent issue of the NTG-MAPS I tried the example given: mtxrun --script fonts and this should return the options list for this script. However, I get: 101 ~: mtxrun --script fonts cannot open : No such file or directory While otherwise a bare mtxrun returns info and thus was found as a runnable script: 102 ~: mtxrun MtxRun | version 1.0.2 - 2007+ - PRAGMA ADE / CONTEXT MtxRun | --script run an mtx script In my .bashrc I had the lua scripts in the path: 103 ~: echo $PATH ..:/usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/:.. And I had called luatools --generate to make the database plus I made certain the script has execute permissions: /usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-fonts.lua - rwxr-xr-x What is wrong or what I am doing wrong?

make sure that you use the latest mtxrun.lua and copy it to your bin path as mtxrun (maybe mtxrun --selfupdate works too) do the same with luatools then run luatools --generate the mtx-* scripts have to be located in the tree (if needed i can implement a fallback using relative paths) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

First bet: This error is often indicatife of a file with dos (CR+LF) line endings.

With old (almost 6-8 months ago) mtxrun, I had to set LUAINPUTS to get mtxrun --script to work. Now it works without the LUAINPUTS variable. I don't remember when the change happened. Your mtxrun says version 1.0.2, mine says 1.1.0. So, try with the LUAINPUTS variable, or try mtxrun --selfupdate. Aditya

That is strange. I have the context distribution from 2008-05-21 and in it mtxrun.lua has the line: banner = "version 1.0.2 - 2007+ - PRAGMA ADE / CONTEXT". Is version 1.1.0 in an experimental version? (I keep away from beta versions, fearing something will break at the wrong moment -- surely one of Murphy's law will take over at a time when one cannot afford it ;-) I did 'mtxrun --selfupdate', as Hans Hagen suggested, but no change. Also I have a path variable LUAINPUTS to no avail: 103 ~: echo $LUAINPUTS /usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua Running 'luatools --generate' makes no difference. Taco Hoekwater suggested the culprit might be msdos line-endings, but I don't have these. Could it be the directory structure in my setup? /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/powerpc-darwin/mtxrun (symlink with 'ln -s') /usr/local/texlive/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-*.lua So, I am still stuck with "cannot open : No such file or directory." on calling 'mtxrun --script fonts' etc. The most strange of all is that 'mtxrun --script cache' and all the others do give me the list op options on the cache script. (mtx- web.lua being absent in the distribution). So only script fonts seems to have something wrong. Hans van der Meer

well, for mkiv and the luatex binary updating is the best way to go ... it's a progressively moving target ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

I should have tried this myself instead of attempting to guess. :-( The problem is this line in mtx-fonts.lua: dofile(input.find_file("font-syn.lua")) input.find_file fails to find the file and then dofile gives the empty error message. The standalone command luatools failed to find the file, even though it is actually there. After a little experiment, the problem seems to be that discovering of .lua files is controlled by the TEXMFSCRIPTS variable (so *not* LUAINPUTS). I've adjusted my texmf.cnf so that it now contains TEXMFSCRIPTS = .;$TEXMF/scripts/context//;$TEXMF/tex/context/base and suddenly all is well again. I think this is a side-effect of recent change in the file discovery api. Hans? Best wishes, Taco
