Re: Newbie: need help with lua socket install

Hi,

After modifying config file to include -I/usr/src/lua-5.1.3/src, I managed to get the make process to run.  However, after the make is completed, I still can't run the luasocket and doing a find indicates that socket.lua is not found in my system.  Could someone tell me what's wrong?

linux:/usr/src/luasocket-2.0.2# make clean
cd src; make clean
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/luasocket-2.0.2/src'
rm -f socket.so.2.0.2  luasocket.o timeout.o buffer.o io.o auxiliar.o options.o inet.o tcp.o udp.o except.o select.o usocket.o  
rm -f mime.so.1.0.2 unix.so mime.o  buffer.o auxiliar.o options.o timeout.o io.o usocket.o unix.o

You need to have lua.h somewhere that the luasocket makefile will find
it; there are two ways to do that, either to install lua.h and friends
to somewhere on the default search path, or to use
-I/usr/src/lua-5.1.3/src or similar in the luasocket makefile.
