It looks as if you were using Debian/Ubuntu?

Maybe it just doesn't work with your linux box :P One explanation could be that texmfcnf.lua hasn't been configured properly. It works with plain TeX Live with default installation. MacPorts would do the following: post-patch { foreach x {texmf.cnf.d/10paths.cnf texmfcnf.lua texlive-update-cnf} { reinplace "s|@@PREFIX@@|${prefix}|g" ${worksrcpath}/${x} reinplace "s|@@TEXMFMAIN@@|${texlive_texmfmain}|g" ${worksrcpath}/${x} reinplace "s|@@TEXMFDIST@@|${texlive_texmfdist}|g" ${worksrcpath}/${x} reinplace "s|@@TEXMFPORTS@@|${texlive_texmfports}|g" ${worksrcpath}/${x} reinplace "s|@@TEXMFLOCAL@@|${texlive_texmflocal}|g" ${worksrcpath}/${x} reinplace "s|@@TEXMFSYSVAR@@|${texlive_texmfsysvar}|g" ${worksrcpath}/${x} reinplace "s|@@TEXMFSYSCONFIG@@|${texlive_texmfsysconfig}|g" ${worksrcpath}/${x} reinplace "s|@@TEXMFHOME@@|${texlive_texmfhome}|g" ${worksrcpath}/${x} reinplace "s|@@TEXLIVE_BINDIR@@|${texlive_bindir}|g" ${worksrcpath}/${x} } } To Bill: can you try which luatex context sudo which luatex context and in particular because you have TeX Live installed in home dir, I would suggest not to run any command as sudo at all. In particular, don't try to run "mtxrun --generate" or "context --make" as sudo. It might be that the cache is not writable by you any more. But then again - something seems to be wrong with your configuration. How exactly did you install TeX Live. Where do you have any texmfcnf.lua? Please also post the output of a working ConTeXt run and/or "mtxrun --generate", in particular the part that Aditya posted (definition of SELFAUTOLOC etc.).
