I modified texmf.cnf to give these variables those values, but I still
get the same error, even after luatools --generate. Further
suggestions?
By the way, I initially modified the "local" texmf.cnf file
texlive/2008/texmf.cnf
rather than the "gloal" configuration file
texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
because the former file says that it should contain changes to the
latter:
<---snip--->
% If you want to configure something to a value different then the one
% in texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, just put the changed value here.
<---snip--->
But I noticed that when I ran luatools --generate, it apparently ignored
this "local" texmf.cnf file; it read only the "global" texmf.cnf file.
I inferred that from the output:
LuaTools | error unable to locate texmfcnf.lua
LuaTools | loading /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
LuaTools | preparing configuration for
/Users/alama/luatex-cache/context/79597d0cc507e8e510dd517f8850b2ca/trees/ae181585be5454a57ae25fb95c3ccbef.tma
LuaTools | saving configuration in
/Users/alama/luatex-cache/context/79597d0cc507e8e510dd517f8850b2ca/trees/ae181585be5454a57ae25fb95c3ccbef.tma
LuaTools | compiling configuration to
/Users/alama/luatex-cache/context/79597d0cc507e8e510dd517f8850b2ca/trees/ae181585be5454a57ae25fb95c3ccbef.tmc
...etc.
Thus I modified the "global" configuration file instead. By the way,
the variables LUAINPUTS and TEXMFSCRIPTS already had values:
LUAINPUTS = .;$TEXMF/scripts/{$progname,$engine,}/lua//;$TEXINPUTS
TEXMFSCRIPTS = $TEXMF/scripts/{$engine,$progname,}//
But I overwrote those to give them the values you recommended, to no
avail, unfortunately.
