</span>This tells me that on your system,<br>
<br>
SELFAUTOLOC=/opt/luatex/standalone-mkiv-new/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin<br>
<br>
Presumably SELFAUTOLOC is where the TeX binaries are. On Ubuntu,<br>
they are in /usr/bin. It is hardly proper for an ordinary user, even one with<br>
sudo permission, to make a directory /usr/bin/lib/luatex/lua/ for personal<br>
stuff, but I have checked that doing so, besides giving one a thrill like<br>
sneaking into the headmaster's office when he is not there, does work.<br>
And that /usr/local/bin/lib/luatex/lua/ and $HOME/bin/lib/luatex/lua/ do not.<br>
<br>
So, at present the bottom line seems to be: user-written Lua scripts<br>
are OK for LuaTeX, but user-written C modules are OK only for those<br>
with superuser status.<br>
