Hello,

How do I use LuaSocket with Lua 5.1?

On December 01, 2004, Diego mentioned that... "the next release of LuaSocket (which is ready but still needs some
testing) already supports that standard [require]"...

Is that luasocket-2.0-beta2?

If yes, I'm not quite sure how to make sense of the following environment variables mentioned in INSTALL:

    LUA_INIT=@/Users/diego/tec/luasocket/lua.lua
    LUA_PATH=/Users/diego/tec/luasocket/?.lua;?.lua
    LUA_PATHLIB=/Users/diego/tec/luasocket/?.dylib;?.dylib

When trying to import, say, "http", I get:

require( "http" )

lua: Example.lua:174: package `http' not found
  cpath: ./?.so;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?.so
path: ./?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?/ init.lua
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function `require'
        Example.lua:174: in main chunk
        [C]: ?

For the record, I'm using lua-5.1-work4 on Mac OS X 10.3.7.

Any help much appreciated :)

Thanks!

Cheers
