Re: Problem with my first program

["Juan D. Espinoza" <socomm@...>]

Hmm I get the same errors as well on RedHat8.0.  I compiled Lua 4.0 From 
source the lib is installed at /usr/loca/lib

------  CODE SNIPPET  -----
#include <stdio.h>
extern "C" { #include <lua.h> }
int main(int argc, char* argv[ ])
{
        lua_State* luaVM = lua_open(0);
        if (NULL == luaVM) { printf("Error Initializing lua\n"); return -1; }
	char* strLuaInput = "a = 1 + 1;\n";
	lua_dostring(luaVM, strLuaInput);
	lua_close(luaVM);
	return 0;
}

gcc lua.c -o xlua -llua -llualib

-----  ERROR SNIPPET  -----
lua.c:2: parse error before string constant
lua.c:2: syntax error at '#' token
lua.c: In function `main':
>lua.c:6: `lua_State' undeclared (first use in this function)
lua.c:6: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
lua.c:6: for each function it appears in.)
>lua.c:6: `luaVM' undeclared (first use in this function)

I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks in Advance,
