Since I'm using binaries from the standalone (and added LMTX to path, etc.), I created soft links in texmf-modules via ln -s /usr/local/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/tex ~/lmtx/tex/texmf-modules/tex and similar (lmtx is my directory for the standalone). LuaTeX finds files without any issues. However LuaMetaTeX gives the following error: runtime error : input file (name of file) is not found, quitting The same result is for modules, .sty files and .tex files. Is this intentional, a bug in LMTX, or is a better solution possible? In case it's useful, I'm working with Ubuntu 20.04. Thank you a lot.

Hi Jairo, I experience something very similar in Linux too. LMTX follows softlinks to files, but no softlink to directories. I don’t know why this happens, but it behaves this way.

But an open question (to Hans, Wolfgang and other LMTX developers) is why softlinks in Linux (in Unix, my guess) only work for files and not for directories. Sorry, but this doesn’t make sense to me.
