This should be answered in a FAQ somewhere.

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5

The Lua manual mentions that the luaopen_* functions "should not be 
called directly: you must call them like any other Lua C function, e.g., 
by using lua_call."

Simply call luaL_openlibs(), or if you only want a certain subset of the 
standard libraries opened, see linit.c and modify it to suit your needs.
