Re: luatex font path problem


Is the check of zlib version essential?

I googled a fix that remove zlib version in gentoo.

http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-tex/luatex/files/remove-zlib-version-check.patch?view=diff&r1=text&tr1=1.1&r2=text&tr2=1.1&diff_format=s

However, according to the zlib changelog(http://zlib.net/ChangeLog.txt), the release with a major version change, such as 1.2.7->1.2.8, was not so often. So I am fine with downgrading zlib manually, considering the low frequency.

That's annoying. It turns out that luatex checks the zlib version and aborts if it's not the same version with which luatex was compiled. A google search turns up many complaints about this. So I either have to rebuild the TeX Live binaries every time zlib is updated, or else users have to downgrade zlib, as you did.

I think I won't bother rebuilding the binaries right now, since TeX Live 2013 is probably going to be released within a month or so anyway.
