Updating LuaTeX on MacTeX-TeXLive 2008

Updating LuaTeX on MacTeX-TeXLive 2008

[Otared Kavian]

Dear ConTeXters,

I just updated my TeX installation with the latest MacTeX-TeXLive  
2008, and since the version of LuaTeX included there was 0.25.0, I  
built a binary version
LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.29.0-2008091817.

Now the problem is that my usual procedure for generating mkiv doesn't  
work and I couldn't fix the problem… (That procedure used to work fine  
with the previous version of MacTeX-TeXLive 2008).

More precisely
	mtxrun --selfupdate
seems to work fine, but then
	luatools --selfupdate
results in:
LuaTools | to be replaced old script /usr/texbin/luatools
LuaTools | unable to locate new script
LuaTools |
LuaTools | runtime: 0.082 seconds
and the command
	luatools --generate
apparently works fine, since there is no complaints, as far as I can  
see.
Now when I issue the command:
	luatools --ini --verbose --compile cont-en
luatools stops after executing some commands and finally I get:
LuaTools | using lua initialization file cont-en.luc
LuaTools | running command: luatex --ini --lua="cont-en.luc" "/usr/ 
local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex" \\dump
(/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex
! I can't find file `context.tex'.
l.16 \input context.tex

Please type another input file name:

  If I do give a complete path for this file, that is
	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/context.tex
(or for another one /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/ 
base/context.tex)
again luatools complaints about not finding the file syst-pln.tex… and  
so on.

I should say that I execute also the commands
export TEXMFCACHE="/tmp"
export TEXMFCNF="/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/"
export TEXMF="{/Users/kavian/Library/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/2008/ 
texmf-config,/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-var,/usr/local/texlive/ 
2008/../texmf-local,/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist,/usr/local/ 
texlive/2008/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local}"
export LUAINPUTS="{/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base,/ 
usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua}"
export OSFONTDIR="{/Users/kavian/Library/Fonts,/Library/Fonts}"
export TEXMFSCRIPTS="{$TEXMF/scripts/context/,$TEXMF/tex/context/base}"

before the above.

Since I do most of the operations without really understanding what is  
going on, I am sure I am doing something wrong… But what?

Thanks for your help…
Best regards: OK

None of these setting should be necessary any more, except for
TEXMFCACHE that you might set if you don't like luatex-cache to be
created in your home. But some answer is in the other thread.
