What's in your package.path?

E.g.:

% lua
Lua 5.1.4  Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> print( package.path )
./?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?/ 
init.lua;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?/init.lua

socket.lua should be in one of the directories defined in  
package.path... alternatively... copy all the *.lua files in the same  
directory and run everything from there, e.g.:

% cp *.lua Nanoki
% cd Nanoki
% lua Nanoki.lua . 0 1080
2009-07-01 16:45:32 Version 	 Nanoki/1.13
2009-07-01 16:45:32 Location 	 .
2009-07-01 16:45:32 Server 	 tcp 0 1080
2009-07-01 16:45:32 Forwarded 	 false
2009-07-01 16:45:32 Secure 	 false

HTH.
