Re: problems with lua while installing Stratagus on Mac OS X

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

Can be a bunch of issues.  First you should see how the ./configure  
of your game is trying to find liblua5 (or similar). Most likely it's  
not looking under /usr/local, and/or your Lua isn't even installed  
there ("make install").

You can also use the OS X Fink distro of Lua 5, by "sudo fink install  
lua51-dev" (worth at least if you're otherwise using Fink).

Send me your ./configure if you wish 1-on-1 help.
