Hello. I noticed that the dvilualatex binary isn't in the big texlive
package. Is it contained in some other latex package not present in
texlive? I grepped the guix source code and found a mention of
dvilualatex in the `#:create-formats` arguments of the
`texlive-latex-bin`, so I suppose it must be somewhere. Am I missing
something?

Cheers.

No, it's an omission in both the modular and the monolitic texlive
package. "dvilualatex" executable should be a symlink to "luatex", but
that symlink is not created in `texlive-latex-bin'.

I'll create it in the next tex-team branch update. Meanwhile, you can
force dvilualatex format with "luatex &dvilualatex".

Hello. I created and installed a dummy package that adds a symlink to
lualatex named dvilualatex in /bin. My use case for dvilualatex is
mostly to render latex previews in org mode, and when I run the command,
I get the following log:

Could I fix this by setting some environment variable? the file seems to
be present in texlive-latex-bin

Cheers.

Org contains no reference whatsoever to "dvilualatex". How did you
manage to make Org call it?

What TeX Live packages have you installed?
What is the return value of `kpsewhich -engine=/ dvilualatex.fmt'?
