MkIV on Ubuntu

[Aditya Mahajan <adityam@umich.edu>]

Hi,

I am trying to install mkiv on ubuntu. I installed luatex from Norbert 
Preinin's  Debian sources and used ctxtools --update to get the latest 
version of ConTeXt. In order to get luatools --generate to work, I needed 
to TEXMFCACHE and SELFAUTOPARENT environmental variables. After that, 
format creation seemed to work.

ctxtools --contextversion gives
CtxTools | context version: 2007.12.11 22:14 
(/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.tex)
CtxTools | context version: 2007.12.11 22:14 
(/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex)

luatools lmr10.afm gives

/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/public/lm/lmr10.afm

(which is ok, expcept that there is an extra new line).

However, mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=pagella gives
MtxRun | unknown script: fonts

When I try to compile a simple \starttext hello world \stoptext 
document with luatex, I get.

TeXExec | processing document 'test.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | writing option file test.top
TeXExec | using randomseed 691
TeXExec | tex engine: luatex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en

This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.20.1-2007121112 (Web2C 7.5.6)
(./test.tex
! LuaTeX error cannot open : No such file or directory.
<inserted text> ...stance,"luat-env.lua","tex")) }
                                                   \ctxlua {if not 
lua.byteda...
<everyjob> \the \everyloadluacode
                                   \the \everyfinalizeluacode \the 
\everyjob
l.1
     \starttext


This is strange. Because locate luat-env.lua gives
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-env.lua
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-env.lua

and kpsewhich luat-env.lua gives
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-env.lua

I do not undestand what is happening. Any suggestions?

Aditya
