on your box, try:

ldd /usr/bin/lua
(change for your specific path to the lua binary)

it'll tell you what dynamic libraries it needs.  then repeat the same on your 
server.  if you don't have a command line there, just upload a script that 
does the same (after echoing "content-type:text/text" or any headers you 
want).

the downside of a real static executable is that it might not be able to load 
any Lua module.
