failure with "luatools --generate"

failure with "luatools --generate"

[Eythan Weg]

Hi,

I ran into trouble compiling beta of June 10.  It seems to me that
luatools is now a script run under mtxrun.  Under linux I made
executable the scripts scripts/context/stubs/unix/{mtxrun,context,
luatools}.  Now when I run

    luatools --generate 

I get

    
    MTXrun | forcing cache reload
    MTXrun | fileio: warning: no lua configuration files found
    MTXrun |
    MTXrun |
    MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated
    MTXrun | fileio: using suffix based filetype 'lua'
    MTXrun | fileio: using suffix based filetype 'lua'
    MTXrun | fileio: remembering file 'mtx-base.lua'
    MTXrun | fileio: using suffix based filetype 'lua'
    MTXrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua'
    MTXrun |
    MTXrun | runtime: 0.008 seconds

What does it mean?

I had no trouble with earlier versions of luatools 

Thank you.

Eythan

Thank you. I ran
  
mtxrun --generate
    
    MTXrun | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/usr/bin'
    MTXrun | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/usr'
    MTXrun | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '/'
    MTXrun | fileio: variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to '/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf'
    MTXrun | fileio: variable 'TEXMF' set to ''
    MTXrun | fileio: variable 'TEXOS' set to '/usr'
    MTXrun |
    MTXrun | fileio: warning: no lua configuration files found
    MTXrun |
    
I have manually exported the TEXMFCNF. 

Here are the commands: 
    
    weg@fermat:~$ ls -l `which mtxrun`
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 56 2010-06-11 10:15 /usr/bin/mtxrun ->
 /usr/local/share/texmf/scripts/context/stubs/unix/mtxrun
 
   weg@fermat:~$ ls -l `which luatools`
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 58 2010-06-11 11:03 /usr/bin/luatools ->
 /usr/local/share/texmf/scripts/context/stubs/unix/luatools

    weg@fermat:~$ ls -l `which context`
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 57 2010-06-11 10:14 /usr/bin/context ->
 /usr/local/share/texmf/scripts/context/stubs/unix/context

looks like another tex system is installed (some old tetex maybe, 
repackaged by a distributor) that sets some environment variables as well

(1) add the minimals bin path to the fron of $PATH
(2) unset TEXMFCNF or set it to the minimals one

or uninstall the other tex tree.

(it's why on my systems i always unset potential clashing variables)
