在很多情况下，当lualatex我使用编译时，会出现这个错误
（c:/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/ltluatex.tex 文件：ltluatex.tex 2015/10/03 v1.0f LuaTeX 支持纯 TeX（核心）
! 缺失数字，视为零。\relax l.140 \newcatcodetable\catcodetable@initex
例如编译这个回答或者@Mico回答给我这个错误，注意我有texlive 2015， LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80。
我该如何解决这个问题，谢谢。

您的文档在更新的 latex 上运行时没有错误。您没有显示日志的开头，日志会显示 latex 版本，但看起来您的安装与 ltluatex.lua 不一致，ltluatex.lua 来自 2015 年 10 月的 latex 版本，但格式来自 2015/01/01 版本。很可能您有更新的文件，但格式没有重建。
你可以使用
fmtutil-sys --all
根据您安装的文件重建格式，或者更好的是使用
tlmgr update --all
它将获得 2016/02/01 版本并使用最新的来源重新制作格式。
