Install DarwinPorts and wait for the lua 5.1 port to be updated (it's  
still at 5.0.2 right now but I'm pretty sure it will be updated  
quickly once the public announcement about 5.1 is made, I'll  
personnally file the corresponding port patch in their bugzilla  
database if it takes too long).

And then simply do:
sudo port install lua

This will take care of all dependencies, makefile patching and  
whatnot for you.



PS: hey, lua newbie here, this is my first post on this list, so  
hello everyone ;)
