Newbie: need help with lua socket install

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

Hi,

I am quite new to Lua am I am trying to migrate my PHP socket code to Lua.

The problem is that I can't get luasocket installed on my Debian machine:

linux:/usr/src/luasocket-2.0.2# make
cd src; make all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/luasocket-2.0.2/src'
gcc  -DLUASOCKET_DEBUG  -pedantic -Wall -O2 -fpic   -c -o luasocket.o luasocket.c
luasocket.c:20:17: error: lua.h: No such file or directory
In file included from luasocket.c:21:

/usr/local/include/lauxlib.h:48: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'int'

When I do a fine, I can see lua.h in the lua 5.1.3 source directory

linux:/usr/src/lua-5.1.3# find / -name lua.h
/usr/src/lua-5.1.3/src/lua.h

What is wrong with my setup?  How can I get luasocket installed properly?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
