Hello Steve

Thanks for the answer.. I added this and now I can't get it to compile.. 

gcc test.c -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -llua -o test

is there any other header I need other then lua.h. Here is what I have so 
far..

#include <lua.h>

int main() {
        int status;
        lua_State *L;
        L = lua_open(1000);
        lua_baselibopen(L);
        lua_iolibopen(L);
        lua_strlibopen(L);
        lua_mathlibopen(L);
        status = lua_dofile(L,"test.lua");
        printf("Status: %i",status);
        lua_close(L);
}

Oh, ya I am running lua 4.0.1

Thanks again
Ben
