OK, you're making progress. The installation is successful by itself,  
but in order for luatex to work, you need to set some environment  
variables. On my machine (OS X with TeXLive 2007), I have these lines  
in a file .luatex which I put in my home directory:

%%%%%%%%%%%%CUT HERE%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
export TEXMFCACHE="/tmp"
export TEXMFCNF="/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c"
export TEXMF="{/Users/tas/.texlive2007/texmf-config,/Users/ 
tas/.texlive2007/texmf-var,/Users/tas/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,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf.gwtex}"
export LUAINPUTS="{/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base,/ 
usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua}"
%%%%%%%%%%%%CUT HERE%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Adapt these settings to your needs: TEXMFCACHE /tmp is OK. TEXMFCNF  
should point to the web2c where your texmf.cnf is located. To find  
out what that is, run
kpsewhich texmf.cnf
TEXMF should list all your TEXMF trees. Run
kpsewhich --expand-var='$TEXMF'
You will need to clean up the output (remove stuff like !! etc.) so  
it is just  a flat list of directories like mine. LUAINPUTS points to  
your current ConTeXt installation.

So put these variables in a file .luatex and run
source ~/.luatex
After that, luatools --generate and luatools --ini --compile should  
work for you.
