I am aware of that. At the moment it is a bit nasty since --platform is not favoured (the switch was meant to allow installing minimals for multiple platforms at the same time, but that one should be called --platforms) and somehow mtxrun has its own ideas about which platform it is running on (I would like to get rid of that dependency completely one day). The easiest thing for "setuptex" is to either rename the file (so that your changes won't be lost next time) or to just change the PATH (you don't really have to run setuptex as it doesn't do anything else but set the path to binaries). However I'm aware that it already crashes earlier. 1.) Do you have any idea if there is some way to figure out that your machine is not able to run 64-bit binaries? (we had exactly the same problem on the old contextgarden and it is something common on macs) 2.) Since luatex does architecture guessing anyway ... it would be really great if luatex knew whether it was compiled for 32-bit or 64-bit or ppc or ...
