OK.

The results: I cannot execute the provided binaries, maybe you're right and the systems are incompatible. I downloaded the luatex trunk and compiled the source. I can successfully execute the compiled binary. After having a look at the first-setup.sh script I performed the mtxrun ... line. As expected it failed (as I cannot execute the binaries). I replaced the luatex binary with the fresh compiled one and checked the other programs. Result: I can execute all binaries exept luatex and pdftex. Since I only use MkIV this should not be a problem. So I made the formats and compiled my test document. MkIV works (including metapost). So finally I can get a running system by myself. I will write my own »first-setup.sh« to update my system. - To update the system I can use the following command, right? mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --force --engine=luatex --texroot=$PWD/tex --extras=all - After replacing the »buggy« luatex I make the formats using: mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --make --force --engine=luatex --texroot=$PWD/tex Please correct me if I use the wrong arguments. I don't really understand the use of all the options. How can I check the luatex version used in the minimals? Maybe it is saved in some text file. Background: If the luatex version changes my script needs to fetch the new trunk, compile and replace the »buggy or incompatible« binary. Simply getting the binary and execute --version triggers the error mentioned before. Thanks for your help. If I can do anything (send binaries, etc.) let me know. best regards Marco ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
