Hi,
I had/have a very similar problem on FreeBSD with TeXLive 2021, with the same
context.lua not found message.
I “resolved” it by setting TEXMF to point to my texmf-dist directory, in my
case /usr/local/share/texmf-dist. It would be nice for it to work without
setting TEXMF.
Without setting TEXMF, running "mtxrun —generate” guesses a little differently,
then attempts to scan all of /usr, and then fails when parts have no read
permission. (See log at the end of this message.)
I suspect it is working when you are in /usr/share/texmf-dist because the
“collapsepath” function in mtxrun is collapsing “/../..” from /usr/bin to “.”
instead of “/“. (Which seems like a bug, but I’m not sure.)
If I run “TEXMF=/usr/local/share/texmf-dist context file.tex” things run
correctly, and a ~/.texlive2021 directory is created. Running
“TEXMF=/usr/local/shared/texmf-dist mtxrun —generate” runs without error but
also doesn’t generate a ~/.texlive2021 directory.
The real problem seems to be that mtxrun doesn’t deal well with the filesystem
layout case of “/top-level/bin/mtxrun” and “/top-level/share/texmf-dist”.
Regards,
Jan M.
