Hi,

Maybe someone can explain
(1) what is supposed to appear in /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/socket
(2) what is the appropriate setting for LUA_CPATH and/or LUA_PATH.

It's all explained here

    http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~diego/professional/luasocket/installation.html

You don't load core.so (socket.so) directly. It is loaded by
socket.lua. This file must be found in your LUA_PATH, not
your LUA_CPATH.

Therefore, you should have a file

    /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/socket.lua

Please make LUA_PATH point to /usr/local/share/lua/5.1,
verify the installation copied socket.lua to that directory, and try again.

[]s,
Diego.
