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

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

I'm sorry for the troubles with fink; properly installed I have found  
it to be a wonderful "alter ego" of OS X.

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/lua51

According to those pages, lua51 should be available straight out of  
the stable tree.
