Re: Need help with getting started with luasql

["Pete Kay" <petedao@...>]

Hi,
after removing the 5.1.3 files, I can run lua with 5.0 version, but then I still can't get the mysql to load:

Lua 5.0.3  Copyright (C) 1994-2006 Tecgraf, PUC-Rio
> require "luasql.mysql"
stdin:1: could not load package `luasql.mysql' from path `/root/.lua50/?.lua;/root/.lua50/?;/root/share/lua/50/?.lua;/root/share/lua/50/?;/root/share/lua50/?.lua;/root/share/lua50/?;/usr/share/lua/50/?.lua;/usr/share/lua/50/?;/usr/share/lua50/?.lua;/usr/share/lua50/?;/usr/local/share/lua50/?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua50/?;?.lua;?'
stack traceback:
    [C]: in function `require'
    stdin:1: in main chunk
    [C]: ?

The current versions are all obtained from debian's apt-get.

How do i fix this?

Thanks alot for all your help.

IIRC there is no uninstall target in the lua Makefile, you thus have to
remove it by hand. type su to became root and then do something like
that (but be careful, you are root not):
 rm /usr/loca/bin/lua*
 rm /usr/local/lib/liblua*
 rm /usr/loca/include/lua*

Cheers
