question on the luaTeX installation

question on the luaTeX installation

[Dalyoung Jeong]

Dear all,

With a fresh mind, I tried to install luaTeX in my Mac G5(OSX 10.5) as  
follows:
(based on Thomas's instruction)
- updating the ConTeXt
- making formats
- preparing some files like texlua, texluac, luatools, mtxrun.
- made a environment variable in .luatex

	export TEXMFCACHE="/tmp"
	export TEXMFCNF="/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c"
	export TEXMF="{/Users/dalyoung/.texlive2007/texmf-config,/Users/ 
dalyoung/.texlive2007/texmf-var,/Users/dalyoung/Library/texmf,/usr/ 
local/texlive/2007/texmf-config,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-var,/usr/ 
local/texlive/2007/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local,/usr/ 
local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist }"
	export LUAINPUTS="{/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base,/ 
usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/sc ripts/context/lua,/Users/dalyoung/ 
texmf/scripts}"

- run "source .luatex"
- run "luatools --generate"
	it showed a long list without any error message.

So far, it looks fine. After the generation, I check the file "cont- 
new.tex", then it pointed the file
in the folder texmf-dist not in the folder texmf-local.
I updated the ConTeXt file in the folder texmf-local, but I don't know  
why it is looking for files under texmf-dist folder not under texmf- 
local.

$ luatools cont-new.tex
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex

I tried to create a format.
But  "luatools --ini --verbose --compile cont-en" stops with an error  
message.

?

Since I updated the ConTeXt file in the folder texmf-local, but I  
don'tknow why it is looking for files under texmf-dist.


Is there anything wrong in my setup?
Thank you for reading.

best regards,

Dalyoung Jeong

That's the error; if luatex finds the files in texmf-dist first, then  
it will give errors because these files are too old to work with  
recent luatex binaries. Can you post the output of the luatools -- 
generate command? Also, does the good old kpsewhich find the "right"  
cont-new.tex? Could you run

sudo mktexlsr

and then

kpsewhere cont-new.tex

The last command, on my box, gives this output:

/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex

So the one in texmf-local is found before the one in texmf-dist. Are  
you sure you unzipped cont-tmf.zip in the right location?

Shouldn't /usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local come before 
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf ?

  It's the default on TeX Live (hence in all distributions but MikTeX).
I think the rationale is that .../texmf contains (mostly)
configuration-related things (including texmf.cnf itself), contrary to
.../texmf-dist which contains the actual TeX files.  In that respect
it's quite different from Pragma's minimals and the New Minimals, where
there is no texmf-dist.

texmf-dist was introduced for packager programs; normally when i get a 
new tex live i happely merge texmfdist and texmf into one directory

texmf-local .. well, it seems that depending on the distribution the 
order differs; originally it was for local updates and we use it as such 
in the minimals

Re: question on the luaTeX installation

[Dalyoung Jeong]

Dear Thomas and Aditya,

Thank you for the reply.

TEXMFLOCAL,  TEXMFDIST is the order in texmf.cnf. So the order  
in .luatex is OK.

1. I changed '/usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local'  in the .luatex  
file to  '/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local'
%%%%%%%
echo $TEXMF
{/Users/dalyoung/.texlive2007/texmf-config,/Users/ 
dalyoung/.texlive2007/texmf-var,/Users/dalyoung/Library/texmf,/usr/ 
local/texlive/2007/texmf-config,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-var,/usr/ 
local/texlive/2007/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local,/usr/local/ 
texlive/2007/texmf-dist}
%%%%%%%%%%

2.  'luatools --generate'.
3. Then it locate the files in right positions.

$ luatools cont-new.tex
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex

And I succeeded to create the format file and a very simple test file  
worked very well.
I don't know what is the difference between '/texlive/2007/../texmf- 
local/' and '/texlive/texmf-local/'.

Thank you for your concern again.

Best regards,

Dalyoung Jeong
