I don't know whether this is a problem of luatex or of my Linux, but with the latest version I get this message from the operating system (because it is in Spanish)

javier@javier-laptop:~$ luatex Excepción de coma flotante javier@javier-laptop:~$

i.e., "floating point exception". I do not even see the "This is Luatex... " message.

Probably the architecture of the binary and your kernel don't match.

Ah, right. Are you using the binaries from contextgarden.net?

If yes, then the problem is most likely that your linux kernel is still from the 2.4.x series. After the contextgarden upgrade, the binaries that are distributed from there are for 2.6.x (it seems nobody has an "old enough" linux install readily available any more).

Let him answer first, but I think that I compiled the binaries on the old machine and there has been no new LuaTeX release since we switched the server. So those binaries should still be fine for a while. The binaries from supelec could suffer from that problem though. Mojca
