Thank you. I checked out v0.80, compiled luatex with --nostrip option, copied the luatex binary to my TeXLive distribution, rebuilt the formats (with fmtutil --byengine luatex), and everything worked after that. I definitely had to rebuild the formats to get it working. (otherwise it gave me the dreaded “I’m stymied error”) > If it works for you , can you try > strip -u -r luatex > as reported by Tantau at > http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=555 ? I copied over the binary to another file called luatex-stripped and ran strip -u -r on that. Both copies seem to load the shared library just fine. Here are the results: $> cp luatex luatex-stripped $> nm luatex | wc -l 24277 $> strip -u -r luatex-stripped $> nm luatex-stripped | wc -l 363 $> ~/code/personal/luatex/v-0.80/bin/luatex --luaonly test.lua Deepak $> ~/code/personal/luatex/v-0.80/bin/luatex-stripped --luaonly test.lua Deepak So I guess it is an option to use strip -u -r luatex
