fatal error: there is no valid writable cache path defined

fatal error: there is no valid writable cache path defined

[Damien Thiriet]

Hello,


I solved the problem deleting the luametatex binaries (that
wheren't deleted during my reinstallation) and running 
./install.sh once more.
Troubles may be connected with the experimental binaries.
Regards,

Damien Thiriet

there has to be a texmf-cache path, you only wipe what is below that

fatal error: there is no valid writable cache path defined

Hi,


I ran into trouble with caches. First I updated the new binaries
and they compiled fine under OpenBSD6.6-amd64.
Then I uploaded some binaries Hans asked me to test, moved this
luametatex to /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-openbsd6.6-amd64/bin/,
deleted files inside /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-cache (but not
texmf-cache itself, since I understand whipe as cleaning inside it) 
and ran mtx-run --generate then context --auto.
When I tried afterwards to compile those new binaries, I get this
error

This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.01.0

Running mtx-run --generate on my user account did not solve the problem.
I certainly did something wrong.
I tried to revert to the standard lmtx binaries running install.sh 
but those errors are still here.

Damien Thiriet
