Fix was applied in the CVS.

We can't really do this, since a set and empty environment variable used
to mean 'false' in the old configuration scheme. So the warning seems
appropriate.

The warnings you get are unrelated to your problem which is that 'text'
isn't recognized as a valid output format:

(The proper name is 'txt')

Normally we are supposed to output a warning only when a needed 
configuration item is used. But since lr_environment access all the 
configuration variables to export them as environment variables, it will
trigger such a warning even if the variable isn't really needed. Thus it
seems like a good idea to inhibit warnings from lr_environment.
But these warnings shouldn't prevent you from running Lire.

That was a typo in lr_run and is now fixed.

Thanks for this initial report.
