luasql help needed - newbie

[David Venus <dvenus@...>]

Hi! 
Hopefully this is a simple question. I am very new to lua but it is very cool. I need to be able to query Oracle databases. I am trying to use luasql 2.0.2 with lua 5.1.2 (most current versions if i have typed the numbers wrong) on Windows XP PRO SP2. All components came from luaforge. 
 
Here is the error message: 
 
'c:\temp.d\dmv.d\lua.d\bin\luasql\oci8.dll': 
c:\temp.d\dmv.d\lua.d\bin\luasql\oci8.dll:1: '=' expected near 'É' 
stack traceback: 
[C]: ? 
[C]: in function 'require' 
       test.lua:5: in main chunk 
[C]: ? 
 

Here is my code, copied from the luasql examples and modified 
for what I am trying to do: 
 
-- load driver 
package.path = "c:\\temp.d\\dmv.d\\lua.d\\bin\\?.dll" 
package.cpath = "c:\\temp.d\\dmv.d\\lua.d\\bin\\?.dll" 
require "luasql.oci8" 
-- create environment 
objectenv = assert (luasql.oci8()) 
-- connect to data source 
con = assert (env:connect("<server>", "<user>", "<password>")) 
cur = assert (con:execute"SELECT * from dual") 
-- print all rows, the rows will be indexed by field names 
row = cur:fetch ({}, "a") 
while row 
  do  print(string.format("%s", row)) 
  -- reusing the table of results 
  row = cur:fetch (row, "a") 
end 
-- close everything 
cur:close() 
con:close() 
env:close() 
 
Any help, hints, etc. is greatfully appreciated. Please let me know if you need more info. 
 
Thanks for your time and patience!
