minimals x86_64 texlua binary

[Martin Pokorny]

I just tried using the first_setup.sh script from
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-linux-64.zip and ran into
a small problem with the texlua binary. Here's what happened when I ran the
script:

$ sudo ./first-setup.sh
receiving file list ... done

sent 95 bytes  received 178 bytes  78.00 bytes/sec
total size is 3594531  speedup is 13166.78

MtxRun | version 1.0.2 - 2007+ - PRAGMA ADE / CONTEXT

MtxRun | skipping configuration for /texmf-local/web2c from

MtxRun | using script: ./bin/mtx-update.luareport >> update: start
Error in lua file loading: /usr/local/share/texmf/context/bin/mtxrun:1398:
'popen' not supported

To solve the problem I had to download the 32-bit linux texlua binary, and then
changed first_setup.sh to copy the 32-bit binary into the bin sub-directory
after the rsync call that fetches the 64-bit binary from the minimals web site.
It seems that the installation went OK after that. I suspect that the 64-bit
linux texlua binary on the web site is old, which also seems to be the case in
comparing the timestamps on the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Thanks for making the minimals web site available.

Sorry, I hope that it's fixed now and thanks for reporting. Actually I
kind-of-forgot to fix a tiny detail in setup scripts. For other
platforms it might have worked OK, but the linux-64 luatex was "old as
earth" until two days ago :)
