Re: Need help setting up luasocket

["mark morreny" <markmorreny@...>]

Hi, 
I did a find on lua.h and I could not find any lua.h file too.  Is lua.h something that I need to install seperately?  

Thanks,
Mark

Hi,

I am trying to install luasocket 2.0.2 on lua 5.1.3. <http://5.1.3.>  I am getting error during the "make" process.  The site has very little about installation so I really have no clue.  Can someone offer a hint?

Either by editing the makefile, or with an appropiate flag, you need to tell make where are your Lua headers.

Or you can use LuaRocks that makes installing Lua packages a breeze.
