The output is appended below and looks reasonable. In particular, it shows
that I installed under /opt/local/share/texlive and doesn't mention the
"mtxrun --generate" output path /opt/texmf-var at all.
Please note that I don't use tlmgr and also that I didn't use the TeX Live
installer. I built the binaries from their sources and then installed
the rest from the texmf archive file. I use other engines on a daily basis,
mostly pdflatex, and they work flawlessly.
Thanks, Rainer
