Re: basic luatex/minimals problem

[Alan Bowen <acbowen@princeton.edu>]

Thanks, Thomas.

I have moved HOMETEXMF to ~/temf and have set HOMETEXMF     = ~/texmf  
in my configuration file (in ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-local/web2c/).

When I first set this up with Mocja, I (we?) had HOMETEXMF     = ~/ 
Library/texmf.
