All -
    I recently switched from a full-installed teTeX 3.0 system to the latest TeXLive CD distribution, in hopes of simplifying my upgrades. As a result, I followed the garden instructions for TeXLive installation, and downloaded the latest ConTeXT as well. Now, I see this

I can compile my sample document that I use for testing ConTeXT upgrades in the past just fine using pdftex. But, I thought it might be interesting to get the new lua stuff working, so I downloaded the luatex stable beta from the posted site, and compiled and installed it. However, I can not get it to generate the format file:

luatools --generate luatools --ini --compile --verbose cont-en
This is luaTeX, Version 3.141592-beta-0.10.2-2007090506 (Web2C 7.5.6)
I can't find the format file `luatex.fmt'!

What am I missing here?  My environment is Solaris 10 x86, so I have had to modify the scripts somewhat (the "/usr/bin/env <whatever>" does not work on Solaris for some reason) so my scripts look like this:

ctxtools
#!/bin/sh
texmfstart /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby/ctxtools.rb "$@"

texexec
#!/bin/sh
texmfstart /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb "$@"

luatools
#!/bin/sh
luatex --luaonly=luatools.lua "$@"

mtxrun
#!/bin/sh
luatex --luaonly=mtxrun.lua "$@"

Do I need to set some environment variables for lua? Or for ConTeXT?
