I have never seen this problem.

It packs the .lh hyphenation files into .lp packed versions, and
it creates .li database index files from the .ld databases in
the standard databases directory.

lout -x needs to be able to write in directories $(LOUTLIB)/hyph
and $(LOUTLIB)/data.  Otherwise, everything needs to be readable
and the directories need to be executable as usual.

I wish I could help, but I haven't the foggiest.  Getting lout -x
to work is obviously the place to start.
