Greetings!
This is a follow-up to my earlier posting (about obtaining a compiled copy of
LuaTeX for MacOSX, either 0.74 0 0.75). I've "found" a copy of version 0.75 in
the meantime, at
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/luatex/osx-intel/bin/.
I run MacTeX2012, and I saved the current version of luatex (0.71) before
moving the new executable to its expected location, viz.,
/usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/x86_64-darwin. I then rebuilt all format files, per
the installation instructions, using the commands "sudo fmtutil --all" and
"sudo fmtutil-sys --all". (Aside: using either method, I got warning messages
that the builds of the following formats failed: amstex, eplain, eptex, and
euptex. Since I don't use these formats, I'm not concerned about them...)
I then tried to compile a program that executes the instruction
\directlua{ require("selnolig.lua") }
where selnolig.lua, unsurprisingly, contains some lua code. Unfortunately, the
program crashes at that point, with the following error message:
(/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/generic/oberdiek/luatex-loader.sty
(/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/scripts/oberdiek/oberdiek.luatex.lua)
! LuaTeX error ...ive/2012/texmf-dist/scripts/oberdiek/oberdiek.luatex.lua:55:

?
Something isn't quite right in luatex-loader.sty, right?
Just for completeness, I downloaded the entire source code for luatex 0.75 and
compiled it on my system. (I have Xcode 4.6 plus the command line tools for
Xcode, for MacOSX "Lion".) I was able to compile the thing without crashing.
Sadly, after setting the proper file permissions, installing it to
/usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/x86_64-darwin, and re-running fmtutil and
fmtutil-sys, I get the exact same problem as reported above when I try to
compile my tex file.
Are there other files besides the executable that must be updated and/or
reinstalled before I can run luatex 0.75 on MacTeX2012? Please advise.
Sincerely,
Mico
