As mentioned by Diego, lua-5.1-work5 is very much bleeding edge, so you 
need to make some adjustment to LuaSocket to make it work all together.

"Change a handful of lines of code. Remove compat.h, change luaL_module 
to luaL_openlib.
package.loaded["base"]=_G in socket.lua thats it."

Here are some additional instructions by Mike Pall on how to build 
modules for 5.1:

The bad news being that all this requires some work. The good news 
being that it does work pretty smoothly once you are familiar with the 
proper incantations :)
