If you realled called 'luatex' than that might be the problem. You have to run 'lualatex' to compile a LaTeX document. Other possible problems: If the document is not a fresh, new one but has been processed by pdflatex, conflicts in generated files might occur. When switiching an engine it is usually a good idea to clean up all generated files first (but it's not always necessary). Or you use some packages (especially concering font selection) that are not compatible with both, pdflatex and lualatex. If none of the two suggestions above helps, maybe you could share the contents of your document. That said I have another point regarding the pdftex/luatex preference: I like lualatex and use it exclusively for all my documents. But one drawback is performance. Compiling documents with lualatex is substantially slower than using pdflatex. -- Until the next mail..., Stefan.
