Re: LuaLanes and Snow Leopard OSX 10.6

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

My by-now standard disclaimer to why Lanes via LuaRocks is not working  
(it's actually great, this way I know people tried >:):

<<
I've essentially cleaned away my web sites since Lanes came out. That  
explains the missing links, though does not justify them. Sorry.

I'm not going to change anything, though. People who really need to  
reach me will - as you have.  :)

As to LuaRocks, I only intended to make the rock as a test on how easy/ 
hard making a rock feels. I did not and do not intend to be  
maintaining the rock as well as the library itself. Rocks, and other  
distributions, require a "second tier" view on the product and in my  
opinion are best done by someone else than the author.
<<

The error you got is indeed the same as I had with Fink Lua (which I'm  
the maintainer of) prior to tuning it for safe multithreading. I'll  
send you the Fink building rules, maybe there is something in there  
that will help.

Thanks for sending the bug report.
